Rincon top end for the first time

Just tore into my buddies 06 Rincon. Have to quit for the day now but the valve cover doesn’t act like it wants to come off. I took out the 5, 8mm bolts and the 4 14 mm nuts. I didn’t want to budge so I took out the 210 mm bolts and I’m pretty sure hold in the rocker arms too just to make sure that wasn’t holding it in place. I got it up just enough for coolant to leak out, but can’t get it off, and don’t want to break anything. Am I missing something or just not prying hard enough?
