[Healeys] Main bearing cap removal

[Michael Salter]

I find the best trick is to roll the block over so that it is sitting on
the head face.
Then get a large block of wood which is big enough that you need to lift
the engine a little to slide it between the bench and the crankshaft.
Then lifting the engine an inch or so and dropping it causes the mass of
the block to lift the main caps away from the block with the crank.
