Hy everybody!

I'm attempting to pull the head off of my engine. I used copper coat when I assembled the engine. The head just won't come off. All of the bolts are out. Nothing else is attached.

I tried using a pry bar, an engine hoist, but that just lifted the front of the truck. That stuff really sticks. I don't think I need to use it again. I started to try to chisel between the head and the gasket but it didn't seem to work too well and I don't want to damage the head. Might it help if I remove the spark plugs to reduce any vacuum effect? I just thought of that.

Does anyone have any advice on how I should approach this?
