Bought A 94 LT5 With Known Problem - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Progress Pictures Part 2:

Head exposed & lifters removed -

Breaking loose head bolts -

Head Bolts awaiting removal -

Cams, lifters and head bolts removed -

A look behind the front engine cover -

I can't figure out how to remove the heads after the 10 head bolts have been removed from each side. I have tried tapping the head with a rubber mallet, I tried gentle prying with a screw driver. I have gone through the service manual and I can't find any reference to any special head removal procedure.

Anyone out there have any tips on getting the heads removed? I'm suspecting there are dowel pins (guide pins), does anyone know where they are located on the case/head?
