Glennster's thoughts on the rocker and push rods are good, but they aren't restricting movement of your head. The valves are connectedquite nicely to the head, too, and aren't restricting a thing. A couple of good bumps on the side of the head from different angles with a rawhide or plastic/rubber-faced hammer, or a hammer against a wood block as Andrew suggested will generally break it loose. That failing (and this takes a good eye and some care), if you can discern the gap between the upper and lower faces of the head gasket, you can smartly tap a chisel into that gap at different points along the seam to loosen things up and maybe break it loose.

Don't get carried away with it. Always keep in mind the two Hammer Rules:

#1) Hit with progressively bigger hammers until you break something, then back down one size;

#2) If it can't be fixed with a hammer you have an electrical problem.
