OK. So I finally got all of the gaskets and everything I need to put my car together and I clean everything up really well and go to put it back together. I put the ARP head studs in the block lubing them with the oil provided as the directions say, then I go to slide the head on and it sticks about 1\4 of the way down. OK. I'll just take it off and put it on before I put the studs in. No big deal. Wrong! It wont budge! I cant get it off or on. I got inside the engine bey and Yanked as hard as I could. I used a piece of wood and pried on it. Still no budge. WTF? Any suggestions? Everything has gone smooth untill now. HA! Do you think that maybe the head studs are for a 7-bolt instead of a 6-bolt?

Welcome to my world. I've hoisted the front end of the car up trying to get a head unstuck. Basically I think you have to go off and on perfectly straight or you will bind. It may also be the head is warped a little. This is not something you can machine out though. With Marcus's suggestions you should be able to get it.
