Took the Engine tins off today

I could only turn the crank about a quarter turn so I pulled it out today with a couple of buddys & put it up on the engine stand.

Took the valve cover off no problems there!?...

Took the side cover off no problems there!?...

Took the oil pan off no problems there!?...

Took the timing cover off no prob...lems there it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out the pics!

Fortunately the gears remained engaged. Besides it could have been alot worse.
