[Roadsters] Beating on an Engine

[Pat]

Matthew,

It IS glued in place! There should be gasket sealer all around the cap 
to block, plus some actual seals too.

I'm not sure about the 3 bearing engine, but I seem to remember that 
there is a hole in the rear cap, right in the center. Take a look, it 
may be threaded. If not, try to find a rod that you can put into it and 
move it back and forth. Do not use anything to pry the cap out, 
everything in there is a machined surface.

Peace,
Pat
