Trying to remove paaseng side head. Have removed the alt. bracket exhust bolts and head bolts. Head won't come off.
Someone had told me i do not have to fully remove the intakes, i have removed thae bolts on that side. Is this true?

You have to remove the intake to pull the heads, its the valve covers that only need the intake half off.

even if you can manage to get the head off with the lower intake loosened yet in place, eventually when you put your head back on you'll need the intake out of the way so that you can properly seal the head/block/intake interface with RTV otherwise you get a nice oil leak down the front of the motor. Unfortuneatly this means you'll also have to remove the valve cover from the driver's side.
