So I’m trying to take off my timing chain cover but it seems to be stuck, I’ve removed all the bolts that I could see keep it attached... any ideas of how to get it off?

It should pop loose hit with a rubber mallet on sides. ALL visible bolts must be removed, if one long one remains through to block, it won't budge.
A couple of the bolt holes slide into protruding guides, they are usually sealed up with rtv or silicon so you may have to hit it a couple of times or lightly pry it back
