Thanks everyone for the info on the head bolts. I did get them off.

I have the head almost off except for one problem on my 1992 190E 2.6. There is a pin facing forward that goes through the cam chain guide on the driver's side on the lower part of the head. I feel that this is the last step I need to do to remove the head. Could someone help me with suggestions on how to remove this pin? I am taking this head off because the dealer did a leak down and said that there is coolant leaking. They said that the gasket is not blown just dried out (12 year old car). Would you recommend that I take the head to a machine shop and have it checked out anyway to see if it is warped?

Thanks Everyone,
