Leave the bolts in, just back them off a bit, then tap the covers loose. No flying parts!

CASE IS OUT! I am having some issues with Photobucket or I would have some more pics. Will post more when able.
Soft 02 - totally agree with the derby gasket, still using the original after 3 openings.
Matt, my head is still spinning but I am still lost on those 4 screws.
RIPSAW - what is rtv? If this mod does not show me doing my own work(except splitting the case
), I don't know what to say.
Taking the case to my local Indy tomorrow, he will split the case, send the crank to Darkhorse, do the Timken conversion and rejoin the cases.

Goes by many names..rtv silicon . comes in black,blue,gray (for metrics? ha) . They even have it red for hot applications. Not for the block split.. Unlike older permatex for cast iron, it peels off aluminum.. Look it up in Wikipedia..Would put a thread to it but I am out of the country and it will not work for me...

You think you'll maybe do gear drive now since darkhorse is making your bottom end solid(free up some HP
).

Alan,
Pull the rotor off. It's magnetic just get a good grip on it. You'll see the 4 screws I'm talking about.

Hey HD Bobber, yeah I had posted a thread over at HTT Forum about my run-out and had a lot of guys say I'm OK but a lot of guys said fix it. So it ate at me, so when my local Indy said he would help me get it split and shipped out, I narrowly went that direction. After all this effort, I decided to do the Timken too - don't want to go here again so do it well once.
