Head Troubles in turbo van...

[InternetPir4te]

ok so i blew my head gasket last month, and i finally got all the parts to replace it. i spend all day disconnecting everything from the head, and undo the head bolts, and the driver's side of the head will not come up. i checked everything and it still won't come up. my dad says that its probably because i have the intake and exhaust mani's still bolted to it, but i've picked up a TD head like that before and it wasn't that heavy. everything is disconnected and out of the way, the head just won't lift up. i'd like to have it up and running by tomorrow so any help would be appreciated.

well i didn't know about the turbo block brace. but the water and oil hoses are off, and so is the exhaust. i'll check that first thing tomorrow.
