Just split my case, trying to pull the crankshaft from the case half but on the flywheel mounting side it does not want to budge at all from the case! The impeller side is free, but all my efforts of trying to break free the other side did not prevail. Even tried turning the case upside down, with helper holding the crank from the bottom, and me giving some good wacks with the rubber mallet to the top of the piston rod closest to the flywheel from the top, hoping gravity would help, but that still didn’t work... anyone else come across a tight crank that would separate??

I had a valve spring break, and couldn’t find a chunk of the spring in the valve train area... so couldn’t be sure that it didn’t somehow make its way into the engine.. so decided to play it on the safe side just crack it open to find the piece... never found it. Engine is still split open, I have all the fresh parts needed for reassembly (all new valves and valve spring) just need to finish cleaning the piston heads, rebuild the valve train, rebuild the carbs, and then reassemble it all. Was busy with the holidays and recently been working weekends for work so haven’t had time yet for reassembly, hoping to get to it next month!
