bluewater328 Luis561 - thanks for all your help!
I had all the bolts loosened.
(3 rear bolts were barely torqued)
VC finally detached from the HEAD after many attempts.
I did not have to trim the eBox.
Raised cowl gave me enough clearance to take VC out in no time.
Middle center bolt fell off when I put VC on the workbench.
I guess it needs to be pulled out ahead of VC removal.
Main gasket was in good shape with exception of the rear exhaust side near cylinders 4-5-6.
Perhaps thats why it did not let me separate VC as easy as expected.
(I am the original owner - no gasket maker detected)
In contrast, spark plug gaskets were like a hard plastic.
