My friend and I are trying to get the head off of the engine to replace the head gasket, but we cant get the thing to budge. The intake manifold is off completely along with the timing belt, exhaust manifold loose (cant get the nut off of the manifold bracket (any help with that is appreciated too), and all 10 head bolts/nuts. Are we missing something? We've tapped it with a dead blow mallet all over and still nothing. I know the corrosive bond between cast iron and aluminum can be pretty tough but geez! We finally got fed up with it and put a jack under the car with a 2x4 and pushed up on the head from underneath. What the heck!!! :evil:
