Yep I have used your TB etc videos glad to know you made some for the engine rebuild Van.

I admit it's my buddy who is the big Abita beer guy. But I like one every now and then. If you ever make it up to Hattiesburg, MS check out a place to eat/drink called Keg and Barrel and their brewery Southern Prohibition Brewing. Who knows I might can meet you there one day.

Hey Van, is there a PDF file of the crank scraper floating around? Figure it looks simple enough to have one made local.

Can't seem to get the engine to let go of the bell housing. Double checked all bolts are out. Try this and that, jacking engine up and down. Even tried holding my mouth in different positions. Something still has it hung up.

Any advice guys????

You need to make sure that you have the engine level, if you have too much of an angle the drive shaft will hang in the clutch/pressure plate/pilot bearing. You could try jacking up on the front end of the torque tube, it will take the weight off the tube/drive shaft and help relieve some of the tension.

I actually took a tracing of mine... but it's at my office - and I'll be traveling this week. Send me a PM to remind me next week and I'll scan it for you.

If you're interested in a cheap cross drilled crank, PM me

I will. Yet another example of why 'Van is the man' folks.

Here you are. It's 2 files - scale should be 1:1. Somehow I manged to not measure the thickness... but I'd guess it's 0.080" - 0.100" thick.
