Has anyone removed the cylinder head? I took all the attached stuff off and took out the 4 bolts as the manual says but R side of head will not budge. Left side does separate from cylinder a bit.

Four days later and no one helps? With the bolts out,the head will come off. It may be a little carboned up, or just stuck on the little "tubes" ("water jacketing?), or someone used some gasket goo on it previously. Spray it with some PB Blaster, let it sit for a while, maybe tap it a little with a mallet, but it will come off.

4? or 6? I thought there were 2 external nuts, 2 little bolts next to the chain, and 2 under the 1st cam pedestal.
