The chunk of 2x4 I used was doug fir and I put a corner of it inside a port of the exhaust manifold then slacked off the floor jack SLOWLY and the head gently was lifted off. BTW I was a little nervous about the possibility of loosing those cap screws that are down inside where the timing chain is, especially when I was putting things back together. what a drag that would be. grooon
