I have no clue why it won't come up.

You need to get all of the head bolts out before the head will come off. :)

Are you sure you are using the correct hex head to get the bolts out?

The easy way to get them them out now would be get a stud remover socket that will fit on them with the head on it still

Yeah I bought a 3/16 socket Allen head.

The actual stud itself?

The nuts/bolts are off

3 of the allen heads are rounded on the stud itself.

What would the stud tool grip onto with the head still on and only 1/4 of the stud exposed?

Theres seriously some kind of black magic keeping this damn head on :frown:

make sure all the washers are off as well. ive stripped out one of the allens on a arp and i pounded a torx bit into it and prayed, and i i managed to get it off. i really can imagine the head studs swelling and being your issue. 123abc's car blew a head gasket and he drove the 20 min remaining to my house and the head had melted between cylinder 2 and 3. so i guess with that heat, possibly it warped the head and block to the point that the studs are no longer standing straight. But i think its stuck on the dowels

Just speculation, the head is badly warped and interfering with the studs.

I'm pretty sure the studs have a 5mm socket head not 3/16. That didn't help with stripping them out.

That head probably isn't going to be to good after it got that hot. I have seen ones with a lot of damage after getting that hot.

To get the head studs out get a set of bolt extractors. Pound an extractor on and hit it with an impact. This will ruin the head stud but should get it out.
