Engine is finally out... Let the teardown begin!

Let me know what you need I have a bunch of extra stuff.

Also pulled the pan off, found a bunch of crap in the pickup tube. Main bearings look like they got hot, so I am going to replace them and have the crank looked at by the machine shop, but it looks good to me. Pulled two main caps tonight and will check the rest of them tomorrow to make sure none of them spun.

Haha thanks for reminding me....

Got all the junk off the motor....

Crank looks shiny as ever...Those are oil streaks on there from flipping the motor over...

Misc bolts and such as I tear down...

Worked on it some more tonight after the kids went to bed. So far everything is pointing to the mains and oil pickup tube.

Everything this evening looked good as it was coming apart...
