Hello. I have started taking the head off my wife's '93 9000 with a 2.3.
I have read all the posts and I am pretty sure I have removed all bolts holding the head to the block. I have rebuilt fords and jeeps. This is not going as smooth. My plan is to take the intake and head out together and rebuild it on my work bench. My problem is this, the head will not come out. Is there some small fastener that I am missing? Should I pull harder with an engine hoist. Should it require this much effort? It is not even moving. ANY IDEAS WITH BE WELCOMED AND APPRECIATED!
