Thanks Mike, I actually went out a checked. I found it. Its black and comes right from below the t-stat housing on the driverside.

SHE'S OUT!!

I am trying to get these lovely bolts off and the flywheel just keeps on spinning. I don't want to jam or put anything in its path because I don't want to replace it for broken teeth.

So how do I keep the flywheel from turning?

Thanks

Air tools, or, put a breaker bar on the crank nut...

Yep a screw driver will not f-up your fly wheel if you have a friend sit on it.


Find a fat friend - or in a pinch - a emo guy and have him hold 100 pounds of tools - just tell him it going to be a awesome "my space pic ---he'll do it..

[Mastrcruse]

Haha, alright Ill try to find an emo kid while I am out.

Thanks

Well, I started taking the motor apart. I have mot of the stuff off the valve cover side and took the valve cover off. Things look alright, I think, dirty but alright.

I am not really fimiliar with timing on these cars. I have helped with the 61 vette, which was easy. Since I am taking the motor apart, I do make sure that the timing stays the same? Am I just going to have to worry about it when it comes time to put back together?

When am I officially going to mess up the timing of the motor? I was reading and it sounds like when I put the motor back together I want piston head 1 to be TDC to keep the timing correct. Is this some what true?

Thanks

Alright guys. The motor is out obviously. The tranny seperated, all the electronics are off of the motor. Now I need just one more thing to get the head seperated from the block (I think).

What do I do with the timing chain? Do I have to go from the front of the motor or can I just loosen it with the adjuster and let it flop down to the bottom of the head and when I seperate the head an block it will come through the bottom?

[Mastrcruse]

Anyone have some helpful tips on the chain? Thanks!

[Mastrcruse]

Alright, now I need 2 tips...


One, how do I get to TCD with the motor out of the car? HAYNES SUCKS!!! I want to get the timing chain off so I can get this head off by next week.

Two, How do I loosen this damn bolt? I have tried everything..maybe!

[ldsbeaker]

where is your Bentley??

[Mastrcruse]

I am trying to give Haynes a shot but its pretty stupid and has no damn pictures

[ldsbeaker]

I just looked through the bentley.. Is your head still on?
They show how to remove it with the head off... kinda. It's an eta one that they show. I looked in the reconditioning section and it says to look in the Ignition section. I look in the ignition section, and it says that there are two types of rotors used, then doesn't explain what to do.

Alright, I have everything stripped down but I still can't get the head off.

I need some advice on the timing chain. I got cylinder 1 to TDC by lining up the O | T with a small section sticking out of the block.

So I still can't get the timing chaing off. How do I get the timing chain off? I want this damn head off!
