no comments? well here is a good one... I needed another housing and I bought a good short block to source 1 but both were 100% perfect! woo hoo1 Anyway I have broken down a few motors before but this one was a bitch! I started last night and spent 2-3 hours on the e shaft bolt alone.. No luck. this morning I put the block on the ground and used a 2 foot breaker bar to hold the flywheel nut and help wedge the block from lifting. Put another breaker on the front with a 4 foot pipe over it and .... no luck., I took it to a friends shop and put a 600lb gun on it .. no luck. He went and got another gun (shop beside his) 1000ft lbs and no luck! I brought the block back to the other shop and tried his huge compresor and the 1000lbs ft gun.. no luck! I was set to go home and cut it off myself and waste the front and eshaft. the guy asked if I wanted him to heat it up with his torch and then try again.. That did it but still was hard to come out.. Crazy!
