Did you remove the bolts that are under the covers for setting the valve clearance? Those are sneaky ones......they are.

yeah, and check the underside of the headcover ...there are 2 bolts (front/back of cylinder) you can only access from below...

Those nuts hold the cylinder head onto the cylinder......not the head cover onto the cylinder head. You need to remove those nuts when you take the head off the cylinder.

Thanks for the correction Dave,
I recalled those because I ripped apart a savage engine a couple years ago and remember thinking "what the hell" when I was tearing it down...

Edit: Head cover refuses to be removed. We don't want to pry, any ideas? I routinely feel incompetent with these sorts of things, so feel free to assume the obvious.
First be SURE you have ALL the bolts out. There are a couple hidden ones. The next thing is either a rubber mallet or block of wood with a hammer and a LIGHT tap tap tap around the head at different points to break the sealant free.

Did you get the bolt that is in the center of the head cover; directly under the frame backbone ? That is sometimes overlooked, along with the 2 that Dave mentioned, inside the little valve access covers.

Okay, so thanks to everyone's help I fixed my blown head plug. Unfortunately it still won't start. The electric start works fine, just no starting. I can post a video of this if you think it will help!

I spliced your 2 threads together... it helps us to know previous history.
You might try...

Mine wouldn't start after I did some engine work on it. Try a couple second blast of starting fluid into the air cleaner, wait a few seconds for it to vaporize then try starting it. If it runs then you have a fuel/air related issue. That will eliminate most electrical and "no spark" issues.
