Finally got the head off! I was able to get the intake sprocket bolt off with a large torque wrench last weekend, but the exhaust wouldn't budge. I borrowed an air compressor and 1/2" impact wrench and went at it today. The impact wrench did not seem to be making any progress so I went at it again with the torque wrench and lo and behold off it came! I'm in cleanup phase now. I also found the chain tensioner guide broke so I really was on borrowed time with this thing! I was hoping to just do the head gasket, but now I'm forced to do the chain and tensioner rail. Well, better to get it done and not have it break later.
