Thanks for the encouragement guys! Thanks for the tip, and sharing your knowledge Radioman! Your way makes much more sense than trying to pull the...

Remove the woodruff keys with a pair of sidecutters and replace them with new. About $1. Once the engine is off the transaxle, remove the timing...

Brand new engine, but whoever buys it gets to do a belt change first thing. I wonder how much rust is inside. Did the factory coat the cylinder walls...

Nice job. You are making great progress. When I was diagnosing my engine, I was told it was probably the inner bearing, so I got things apart and...

You are doing great man! And thanks for posting the pictures. I'm going to get some popcorn and follow along. Start thinking about writing an...

Wow! What are the chances that it would be able to run without a rebuild? Imagine what Verell could get for a freshly rebuilt 328 engine!!

Thanks Radioman! I checked the press aid, what it was pushing against and the angle of force a dozen times yesterday, but as if it was the first try...

No heat on the balance, as you'll destroy the rubber which binds it together. It is not uncommon for them to be a bit difficult to get started, but...

Thanks Radioman! Always appreciate your coaching.

Nuts and bolts.... Probably slightly easier to pull the heads now. It really doesn't make that much difference. Plan on exhaust valves, all of...

Took off from work a little early, and must of caught Murphy off guard; because the plate broke loose first pry ;-)

Thanks Radioman! Slow and easy I can do - only thing that gets easier and easier ;-) Badman, thanks for the tips on the hoses!

Not uncommon to have corrosion between the upper studs and the plate....You could try warming the areas around the 10mm studs with a MAPP gas torch...

getting that casting between the block and bell house off is more difficult than I was expecting. Do I need to remove the studs?

I can't give away ALL my secrets! :laugh
