M1028 head gasket need help

[Thompsona3]

I have removed everything off of my head. I have been beating on it trying to get it to pop off. Is there any bolts holding the head down other than the 17 bolts. I see two other smaller bolts that are about 6 in below the surface of the head do those have to be removed as well?

 

[Thompsona3]

Never mind it was an exaust bolt stuck against the frame

Glad you got it off.

Why are you pulling it off ?

 

[Thompsona3]

Low compression in one of the cylinders

 

[CUCVLOVER]

Oh. Sorry about that.
So the gasket was bad?

 

[Thompsona3]

Ya it's bad there's a ton of oil between the head and block so that's why I presumed it was head gasket.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

Sounds like it to me.

Good luck with it
