LoL Bet I've broken more bolts off in this retoration than anyone ever. Head, manifold, water panel, and now the block. Grandad was supervising today though, so it wasn't just my lack of experience. Bought an engine hoist last night, got the front bolster slid out from the rails in preparation for Grandad coming over this morning to oversee pulling the block. Everything finally out, front plate and gears, rails off, the top bolt inside the starter, and this last one, the outer top bolt, would not budge with my 200lbs. hanging on it. Put a pipe to it and it broke, along with a piece of the cast around it. Crap. Now I can't get the block free. Grandad thinks maybe a punch on the remaining bolt to push it through. Anyone had this happen know what I can do?
Changing my name to BoltBreaker.
