It is either still stuck to part of the block in which case more "rope trick"
will free it up or it is stuck on the studs. Removing the studs or at least
turning the studs will free that up. One trick I have never tried so let us
know if it works is if you have an engine hoist to fix the lifting chains to
the rocker shaft studs and raise the engine about 1/8 inch off the ground so
that the weight of the block is pulling the two apart.
Good luck
