[Roadsters] Beating on an Engine

[Gordon Glasgow]

Here's the quick and dirty, no drilling required way to do it.

The bolt hole is a 10mm x 1.5 (or possibly the SAE equivalent, depending on
engine). Get a medium-length bolt.

Get a pry bar like this one
(http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00937341000P) and a piece of 2x4.

Put the 2x4 on the bottom surface of the block.

Thread the bolt through the keyhole-shaped hole in the pry bar.

Put the end of the pry bar on the block of wood.

Lift!

Hey all!
 
I'm trying to disassemble a spare 3-main 1600 engine and have everything off
except the crank. I have the front and mid main caps off, but I can't get
the
rear cap to even budge (bolts are off, of course). Nothing. Not a single gap
to get a screwdriver under, not a pounding on it with a rubber mallet, not
tossing the whole lump across the garage. Nothing will get it to move. It's
as
if it is glued in place.
 
Any ideas?
