In case any valves are stuck to avoid bending pushrods you may wanna remove the valve covers then rocker arm assembly. If its stuck real bad then youre lookin at removing the rod caps and the whole block with pistons intact John T   [Reply]   [No Email]

I think it had been stuck for 20 years before I got it. What a pain that turned out to be. The crank was in such a position that the number 2 rod would hit the camshaft in a way that made it impossible to pull the block. I finally removed both main bearing assemblies from the crankshaft so I could move the crank a couple of inches to the rear. This let the rods drop free of the crank, and I was able to pull the block. Found a governor weight sitting on top of the camshaft. The side of the bore on number two cylinder was caved into the water jacket. I think she dropped a governor weight, went into an overspeed situation and blew out the side of the block. This brought things to a halt real quick. Number two piston also had cracks at the piston pin boss. Both sides. Kurt   [Reply]   [No Email]

Then get it in high gear with the clutch engaged n see if rocking/turning/pulling the wheels gets her to turn some??? John T   [Reply]   [No Email]
