All studs, thermostat housing, intake/exhaust manifold. I hope you are using

spent about 2 hours and have it to the point where I should be able to pull

tried tapping the head lightly with a hammer to see if it would loosen up, no
luck. Is there a trick to getting the head to break loose? I am guessing it
would be a bad idea to turn the engine over to do it with compression?
