Default Off with my Head(s)

All 10 nuts are off/out, any tricks to lifting the heads off without scratching the gasket surfaces? It's like they're epoxied on with gorilla snot.

TIA

The driver side will be a real PITA. At best, the booster will not clear the last half cm of the lower rear most strud. If your motor mouts are somewhat collapsed (meaning not brand new), with some plywood and a 2X4, it will come off. Once off, make sure to shorten that rear stud buy a few turns.

If you are having a hard time breaking the heads loose from the block. Use a rubber hammer and have a good whack at them.

Engine is out, I'll try whacking them with a rubber mallet.
