I removed both rocker assemblies and got the right side head off.  It look a
bit of persuasion with a wood block and a hammer but it finally broke lose.
The left side is another story.  I can't seem to get it off.  Any
suggestions on how I can get the head lose?  I don't want to smack it too
hard with the wood block and hammer so I don't damage it.

I'll have some pictures in a bit of the valves and the top of the pistons.

Thanks,
Tim

Ok, I was 98% sure.  My bad.  Missed 2 bolts that connect to the power
steering pump.  I guess everyone does that... once.

Happened to me recently on the R1 Wagonaire block. When I did get them
all loose it just poped right off!

Back off the bolts a bit, maybe 1/16 of an inch, and turn it over with
the starter. (Wires off plugs)
