I bought an o-360-A1G6D for rebuild. I am disassembling the engine so that I can send the crank and case to be inspected. The seller said he guaranteed they would make overhaul. I have two months to get them inspected. I have disassembled every thing but the crankcase is not going to separate easily as indicated by the overhaul manual. Could you give me your personal experience on how to separate this thing.
I removed all perimeter bolts and nuts and two throught bolts in forward section and the nut just above the camshaft. All cylinders removed etc. Am I missing something? Someone said the through bolts have to be driven out. I find that hard to believe. That seems like alot of pounding on a delicate aluminum block. According to the overhaul manual you just remove all the bolts and lift one side of the case from the other.
