The mechanics locally fit the cam chain and rivet it to endless

So clearly they are not a fan of the split link arrangement - might be clearance worries.
Johnwebley:
I think it is more a stress thing.
Maybe worried the clip will become loose and fall off.

"What's the best way to seperate the head from the block without damaging any fins ?"
You can try (if you've got something like the big flat tire levers) to carefully push that in to the root of the fins right by the gasket surface at each end, and gently twist them, not try to lever. It at least assessess (is that correct with more ss's than Mississippi? ) if it's going to move or be more reluctant.
Once the gasket seal starts to come apart they are usually ok. It's not to use much force but more gentle encouragement at the right location, if that makes sense.

The levers sound potentially risky though clearly it has worked for you.
I'm currently in deep thought mode for my next move.
