Cheers, The 19mm nut on the opposite side seems to be tight as well. I was stripping the engine with a Air Impact gun and the thing didn\'t want to budge ! Looks like i\'ll be popping to local garage, they are 1 min walk away.

Quote from: oldoneOnly takes 15minutes to strip it,what you going to do after that ?

Break engine down, box it up and take to wgt for inspection of rotors and housings and irons then have it ported (not sure what port yet, large street of half bridge) then clean-up, paint in a bee-sting colour scheme, then install in car !

Then I\'ll have a mad play with the engine thats now in the car

Thinking doing a home made PP with it doweled and setup for maybe upto 10k rev

The front pulley nut? Lock the flywheel and it\'ll come off with normal hand tools.

Do the home made PP, that would be awesome!!

shaunwil · December 11, 2006, 05:54:26 PM

Thats a side project, I think have access to all the tools to do the job, but it will be a long term project and i will be trying to do it on the cheap (make all the parts myself)

:Santa
it wont smell right!

i find breaker bars the best route....and a little heat if needs be. Works every time

Jit · December 11, 2006, 07:31:06 PM

what are you trying steve!!!! it needed 2 of us!! although i got mine off by myself....guess im just harder

dubber91 · December 11, 2006, 09:51:43 PM

no. you had the proper (i.e. my) tools. anybody could have stood on the motor man. I did the hard work. at least the flywheel came off once i had the nut off

Front pulley nut is no where near as tight as the FD ones,it should come off fairly easily if you put the flywheel back on,lock it and then use a long bar on the 19mm.
Then take the flywheel off after,it is much easier that way around.
