I'm trying to get the cylinder head off my '89 Honda Accord and I'm to the point where I should be able to take it off, but here's the problem. Even with all the bolts out, the cylinder head won't budge. Keep in mind I have to take the intake manifold AND the exhaust manifold off with the cylinder head because there are bolts that are to difficult to get to with it all in there. If there's anyone who can help me, I could really use some advice. Please and thank you.

Intake and exhaust manifold bolts must all be removed, along with the timing belt. There are likely alignment pegs that are keeping it from moving laterally. Hit it with a mallot a number of times and carefully pry it up with a screwdriver or small pry bar.
