I've been working to replace the head gasket and got to the point where it was time to lift off the head. I'm able to rock it front to back about 1/4 inch until something catches but can not lift it straight up at all. I've read that many people forget the intake manifold bracket, but I took off the two bolts that connect to the underside of the intake. Do I need to remove the bracket completely? Any other thoughts on what it may be catching on or any bolts that are easily missed? It almost feels like there's a bolt I missed on the timing belt and thermostat sides but I can't find any. I left both the intake and exhaust manifolds on but thought I had everything else disconnected.
