I'm having trouble with the last step, getting the head off after unbolting everything. I can lift the front side a bit, but the firewall side doesn't budge. I think it might have something to do with the motor mount bracket which is maybe rubbing against the exhaust manifold? Should I just take this bracket out or is the whole engine/ transmission going to tip over if I do? The bolt on the top of the bracket is out & the 2 smaller side bolts at the firewall side are out. Cam & wheel are separated & wheel is bolted to the "interesting" arm.
Any advice would be appreciated as I am at a bit of a loss at this point.
