I been trying for the past hour to take of the top part of the manifold. I took all the bolts and nuts out, but it seems to be stuck with the silicone. What are ways that could help me, on removing it? Thanks.

Is the top half stuck to the bottom half of the manifold? Or is the top half stuck to the head?

Anyways, try to wedge a breaker bar in there somewhere and push or pull.
That's what I did.
Also make sure to check that all the bolts are out, I forget sometimes.

I got it unstuck. Well I was trying to take of the top half, but it seems I need to take the bottom part too.

Ok I figured a way out and I will try it tomorrow. It's called the double nut method (No h0m0), so I could remove the 2 studs from the block. I hope this works.
