Thank you for all the reply. I already had the whole engine stripped
except that I couldn't get the head off. I guess I will just carefully
pry it out.

I used a 10 mm hex socket (I think that what it's called. It looks like
a small hex cylinder attached to a regular socket.) attached to a
ratchet with 2 galvanized water pipes as extension to remove the bolts.
You can find the socket at HomeDopot but they only sell a whole set.
Just go to where you normally look for a regular sockets. You will see
it. It's made by Husky.

Make sure the hex key goes in all the way. I almost stripped two of the
bolt because the key was own halfway in.
