FC3S Murray's never ending build.

So when I get to the removal of the counter wieght, I wonder if I should remove the rear stationary gear THEN remove the rear iron. Tell me if my thinking here is wrong, but with the rear stat gear out, removing the rear iron will allow for less chance of the rear stat gear possibly strike or nudge the engine.

Forgive me for the paranoia BUT i am freaking myself out due to all the bad joo joo that could happen if the motor shifts on me. I will have that bitch safety wired down with .040 wire around the base of the spark plugs. It shouldn't move.

I am so edgy right now because this is my LAST leg with this car. If it don't work, I am through and some one will have a new project. Kills me BUT time is non-existant and my priorities have changed since I have had this car the last 6 years.

I ordered a new water thermo sensor today since it wouldn't hurt. ALLsensors now are brand new on the motor. I also had to order a new pilot bearing seal since it was tore up when I removed the engine.

Should rip into her tonight OR tomorrow. Will have some pics of the crack up soon.
