So, after removing the 6 main case bolts, and undoing 20 fasteners around the perimeter and elsewhere, I am ready to split the case. But the seam is resisting.

I'd bet something like this could split the case halves..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Did you get the bolt that goes through the windage tray? It is between the two cylinder spigots in a recess.

All the bolts were out (I counted them at least a dozen times).
I tried the method of prying between the front shaft impeller flange and the front seal. After a gentle pry, the seam opened up along the front, but the back was still stuck. I resorted to some plastic wedges (door frame shims), and that did the trick. Attached thumbnail(s) |

But the bolt-on cam is not stock, right?

But the number 2 bearing shows a bit more wear. This is the worst one.

All the crank journals look great.
After a quick measuring session, the mains are about 2.3520 inches, suggesting these were ground one step undersize. And the con rod journals are about 1.959 inches, two steps undersize. Attached thumbnail(s) |

A bit more tinkering today, starting with removing the oil pressure relief valve. Step one was to make a tool to fit the slot profile in the cap.
