You should have to remove 12 small bolts and 1 large bolt. That large bolt will unscrew just keep working at it. When thats done the head cover should come off. Good Luck...

Get a bigger ratchet wrench or a breaker bar. ;)

the head cover will come off, then to remove the head, you need to remove the carb, exhuast, cam, secure the timing chain, then remove the 4 acorn nuts AND WASHERS (take note of the thickness of the washers) and then the head is free, minus the gasket holding it on
