old engine teardown

[Dave Daniels]

Well, I finally got around to digging into the old engine (you remember that one.....the "'gunk" engine...) Got the head off, then got the cylinders off. Here's the surprise: the rod bearing on #4 is bad. Yeah, you read that right, #4. I thought it was supposed to be #3?? I can grab hold of the piston rod and just wiggle it around. So, for all you doubters and naysayers....yep it was a rod bearing. Now I have to figure out how to get the front sprocket off so I can get the cases split. The dang thing's in neutral too. Any ideas?
   
  Also, anybody in need of a head or cylinders? So you know, I've already sold the cams.
