Looking good bud. Supporting the engine with some wood on a scissor jack then pulling the motor mount makes removing the cases super simple.

I put a 2" strap around the tranny and backbone, unbolted the case, turned it a little clockwise and bam, easy as pie, wasn't bad at all, happy about that!

Still building boxes but everything is done except the shipping

Hey Suede, how was it removing those cylinder studs? Are you putting in new ones or reusing?

They came out with no trouble using the double-nut technique. I've still got to check them all for straightness so no decision on that yet.

Just finished boxing up the cylinders/heads, have to go ship them now, my box is a work of art, thank God I'm a cardboard hoarder

I know, I know, but I was eager to get them shipped off, and shipped off they are

Now on to the cases
