i took all of the bolts out and i still cant get them off... is their something else holding them on? i took out 8 bolts under the valve cover and 8 on each side of the block by the spark plug holes. did i miss any thing? any tips on geting heads off that have been there for 25 years?
thanks

Small block chevy has 17 bolts per head.

Eight bolts below the exhaust ports - short.

Under the valve cover -- Two (one at each end of the head near the oil drain back holes - medium). Four (one between each pair if rocker arms - long. Three (between each cylinder - long).

That'd be the problem; you still have one bolt in each side.

It's in the back corner under a puddle of oil toward the exhaust side.

You know if you do have all the bolts out it might just need a little tap with a rubber mallet. When I took my heads off my old 305 thats what I had to do. They just didnt freely come off with no effort. Keep in mind though my engine had a billion miles on it. A fresh engine it might just come right off
