Default cylinder head removal

Hi guys, I'm working on replacing head gasket of a f22c, after removing all bolts and connectors according the the manual, I'm stuck on lifting the head.

Any idea about how to removing it? It won't budge a little when I tried with all my strength. Thanks!

look along the split line of the block and head, there are pry spots for a pry bar, just be carefull not to slip and gouge surfaces... make sure u have the front 2 allen head bolts removed from the front of the head

Put some weight on the intake manifold and the leverage should help pry it away from the block.
