Dead body?
Hah! That is merely an impropriety, like getting caught making
out with your cousin.
My dead body was that the fork pin had sheared, and rather than
fix it, my DPO
welded the fork to the cross shaft. The welds were so crappy that they
broke, where upon
the car was sold to me (I knew there was trouble, but I wanted a
project).
Or, how about installing the head gasket upside down so that it
blows? Huh? How
about that? Or maybe discovering your DPO installed a hot cam but reused
his old lifters,
wiping out a cam lobe. Betcha can't beat that one.
I got a million of em, and all on my 6!
Count yourself lucky if that is the only "dead body" you
discover.
Now about getting caught with your tongue in your cousin's
mouth...

All-
Thanks for the replies and encouragement. I think I made decent progress
today. I have the upper bell housing bolts to remove and I think it
should
come out.

c.) Dead body. Yes I am afraid I uncovered one. When I purchased the
car,
there was statement made concerning tranny work. Once the cardboard
transmission hump came out, I noticed a transmission cover bolt sticking
up.
Apparently, when this bolt was removed previously, the threads came with
it.
So instead of a helicoil, the genius working on the car, slathered the
bolt
in blue RTV and shoved it back in the hole. Thanks a lot.
