Good evening everyone,
I finally had time to pull the MF 65 with the Perkins 4.203 into the shop and tear into it.
For those of you who may not have seen my previous post: I purchased this tractor from an older gentleman who had bought it having been told it needed a new water pump. He replaced the water pump, but misrouted the lower radiator hose into the fan belt. Since it is such a pain to get to with the loader on, he gave up and sold it to me. When I installed the new lower hose and started filling the radiator, water started running out of the exhaust.
Long story short, I have the loader off, and everything stripped down to the head. I removed all 23 of the head bolt nuts, and the rocker arm assembly. Injectors and manifolds are removed as well as the water pump. I have tried raising the head off the engine using an engine hoist, however it will not budge and the hoist picks the entire front end off the ground.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why the head is on so tight, or any tips or tricks to remove it without damaging anything. I’m currently at a loss as to what to try, so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
