Tell me Brad, are you searching for material for an act? What did you do? dissolve * in the gas tank?

Opening the case is not really that big of a deal. Its pretty simple as for pullers I have never used one and Ive done about 10 of them, I just use screwdrivers and chisels and try not to gouge the sides of the crank and I use a dead blow hammer to separate the crank from the case. Then I use sockets to put the bearings back in case and that's pretty much it.

Maybe thats the secret to virility - get it really hot and don't use oil. I've tried eveything to make it go back down. I even showed it naked pictures of Mark Mangino. No dice - my rod's still stiff.

Have you tried PB Blaster? It has never failed me yet for loosening rusty bolts, pipes etc. spray a whole bunch down into the crankcase and let it sit for a couple of days.

I'll bet it loosens that conrod right up.

I'll give it a try, but I think that bearing is fried.

In the meantime, Iggy offered up a complete engine at an unbelievable price so I'm going to swap that in.

Thanks for everyone's input. Wait till you see this thing. Stock, cherry goodness (with a floormat to boot).
