Seeking anyone with tips in how to pull off the exhaust manifold. Got 4 bolts removed and partially separated from head. Appears the
O rings at the base are holding this puppy in.

Thanks Paul

Well guys figured it out myself. Those interested, got a long bar from floor to bolt hole in manifold, put a rod through both and lowered engine power tilt. This puppy popped right out. Well onto the next thing.

Whew! Scary! I am always pretty leery of prying or forcing ANYTHING on a Honda because of the "delicacy" of same. I would have probably warned you not to try that.

Just shows how much I know ;>)

Glad it worked out for you.
 
Thanks for the reply. I guess I just had a lucky day yesterday.

Maybe I can ask you guys at Boat Repair Forum When I continue to breakdown the engine to troubleshoot overheating in Exhaust area.

Honda exhaust manifold removal stuck.
I did what Paul said above..................
after pushing pulling prying and generally dislocating my shoulder ...
Approx 4 ft long 2 x 4 from floor to bolt level on manifold ( engine was already lowered 95% w tilt trim). Got 2 screw drivers at Harbor Freight - same diam as manifold bolts ( $2.99 ea) . Screw drvers went 95% in the manfold holes set the 2 x 4 under the screw drivers n slowly lowered the tilt trim...... got a lg slotted screw drive between the manifold and head and just shake it a little while lowering the tilt trim in tiny amnts.
Woopeee!
 
Make sure you replace the big exhaust oring and grease it well when putting it back on. I recommend installing exhaust manifold to sit back in place without the gasket, by tapping down it with plastic dead blow hammer or tighten a ratchet strap around it and tap in place, then pull manifold away from the head and slide in the gasket. prevents damaging the gasket
