Removing cylinder head without removing manifold
So I'm doing the passenger side head gasket on my 94 5.2 zj. I've got 8 out of 10 head bolts removed, the last 2 being the rear most bolt, and the bolt under the center ports. Obviously removing the exhaust manifold is the way to go, but I can't. I physically can't crawl under it, I don't have a floor jack, and I'm stuck doing this outside in northern Michigan in January. Anyone been able to pull the head without pulling the exhaust manifold? Can't afford to pay someone else to do it otherwise I would've gone that route

yeah I tried to get to the exhaust flange bolts underneath I just couldn't do it. I need a floor jack but I don't have one and that's looking like my only option unfortunately
