Engine Teardown Help needed

[DrRodey]

I know there is a trick to everything, just haven't figured this one out yet. How do you get this dang blasted thing off.



Thanks for any help.

Dan.

I dont remember exactly what bolts you use, but Im pretty sure its head bolts or main bolts. I might have used some bolts out of the KentMoore 3.4 kit.

the bolts I used from the kent moore kit were self-tapping. Be patient.

Ok then I know what I did.. I used a Tap the same size as main cap bolts which is M11 x 1.5, then just threaded in the bolts. I think the puller and bolt kit was missing from the KentMoore set I had.

I actually would advise anyone rebuilding a 60º block to get an M11x1.5 tap, you use it to clean out the head bolt and main cap bolt holes.
