One of my HEs wants its ring gaskets to remain on the head. I can't get either to budge. Any ideas?

Sometimes these are swelled in a way that they are difficult to remove. I used a small drill like 1/16" and drilled into the long side. Be careful not to deep and go into the head. I then used a tool I made that had a 1/16" pin at the end. A snap ring tool may work. Use this to pry the ring towards the center. This will deform the ring. It will either fall out or at least give an edge that you can grab to pull it out.
