    Head wont come off

    Hey guys not sure if I'll be able to get some help in this, I am doing a head rebuild. I removed everything attached to the head (manifolds, vanos, timing chain, etc) I removed all 14 bolts from the head but for some reason it is still pretty solid and can't get it to come off I followed all the steps from the pelican parts DIY any one have an idea?

    There are two small recessed torx head bolts that go into the front timing cover at the very front of the head. Probably oil in the holes so you may not even see them.

    And if you got those, you still probably need to give it a good whack with a rubber mallet.

    I will definitely do that I tried giving it a couple taps but was pretty tough so I know it should come off now after I take those small torx off
