Does anyone know how to take the head off a 91 civic 1.5L engine? I've got the intake and exhaust manifolds removed as well as the head bolts. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Find a way to *very gently* pry it up, they tend to get pretty stuck on there after being on for years.

The timing belt is off... right?

soft blow mallet to the top a few times to loosen it up always tends to do the trick for me, years of crusty head gasket material are gonna be holding it all together. good luck with whatever ur doing.
