Having a few probs truying to pull the head off an 87' stanza with a CA20E engine. got the valve cover off, head bolts removed, distributer off, crankcase cover, and timming belt, but my book doesnt go into fuelinjected engines so im in doubt about the EFI , i have losened everything i can find attached to the head, inmjectors, fuel rail stuff like that, but the head wont budge and i dont want to pry it. Any Tips Tricks, Web Links?????

a huge pry bar! dont really know, uum, try rocking the head back and forth, the head gasket might be hlding the head on. not that i would openly say this is a good idea, but when i tore down the engine on my honda xr100r dirtbike last weekend - yes, im suggesting what to do from a 100cc dirtbike shop manual, go me - , it suggested both prying and hitting the head lightly with a rubber mallet (i just hit it moderately with an open fist). this worked just fine. might be something to try, but you also might want for some more knowlegable people to help you out.
good luck, - tim

Well the pry bar worked, the head moved, now i would just like a gun so i can shoot the SOB mechanic that slept with the wife of Nissans Engineer, cause that POS put that one bolt on the EFI dead center at the bottom where not even a midget with a dislocated wrist could reach. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
