So i got all the nuts off the studs on the head last night... i took all the lower venom intake manifold bolts off (but didn't take the actual manifold off) i broke the rest of the timing cover off as much of it as i could see holding the head down... going by the chiltens i have done everything except take the manifold off.. i am able to get the head most of the way up but just seems something is holding it.. i think it's perhaps the washer's inside the head from the studs i haven't removed those.... i'm thinking that perhaps this is whats holding me back? I will probably have a friend come help me lift it off.. because im afraid im gonna drop it or something saying how im cursed and all.

I think im going to take a day and relax my chest and shoulders are killing me from last night i also sliced my finger open from breaking the timing cover... antifreeze and open wounds don't feel so good...

I will probably resume removing the head tonight..
