so i have everything i could think of off to take the cylinder head off, ive taken all 10 head bolts ive un bolted the intake mani bracket its all off and the head will movie around and lift up a little bit but if your looking straight at the engine to the right by the timing belt area it just wont seem to come up i took off that motor mount to idk what it is shes so close to coming off but just wont so any ideas??
 
have you taken a block of wood and taped the head? it should come off as long as the head bolts are off along with the timing belt and the upper mount
 
yes ive taken the bolt that goes into the head that is located by the cam gears. i guess i just try to tap it with a hammer and a block of wood hopefully it comes up, its just weird because the left side will come up just not on the right side. so idk ill try it tonight.
 
tripple check that there isnt a bolt holding it together usually there is a bolt thats left on there and it will break before the head breaks.

what do you mean by a bolt that is left on there? you might need to be more specific than that. where would this bolt be located im am 99% positive i have gotten everything off.
