Cam Housing
I am trying to break the cam housing free from the head, I took off the 8mm and 6 mm bolts and the 10mm bolts on the back of the housing, I'm I forgetting something, or does it take a good whack with a rubber hammer to loosen the housing from the head gasket?

watch out for the lifters jumping out. I believe I had to tap a bit. Bolts out of the plastic timing belt cover? If I remember correctly that stumped me for 3 seconds.

Make sure you have all the bolts out across the lower outside and the the ones out under the cam cover plugs. there are 2 10mm behind the timing cover in the front, there is one 10 mm holding the cat. sample tube in the rear. If you have all of the the main allen head bolts out it should start to lift up because the spring tension the lifters are under. Make sure when you are removing the cover you sort of roll it to the right fender to catch the lifters..they will try to slip out. Try to keep them in their propper order.
