Unbolted:

Turbo housing from manifold.

All coolant lines etc.

Fuel lines.

Wiring

Theres no brackets from the block to head on my set up.

head bolts

Took t belt off cams ....


Its literally free from everything. Just wont pull off. Im stumped.

I honestly dont think its fused together. That seems highly unlikely. But ive double. Triple and quadruple checked everything that could be holding it on. Im completely at a loss.

Only think I can think of is that maybe the head studs exoanded from the heat ? And have it stuck together? A few of them are completely seized on.
