Splitting The Case

[limitied03]

Ok im about to split the case for the first time and i was wondering if anyone could give a rundown on what i need to do leading up to splitting it. Like as far as what i need to take off and what not....this is my first time ever working on a shee motor so im desperate for help and im not paying the stealership 3 or 400 bucks for work i know i can do!

I'm doing this to mine next week for the first time and have done a bunch of reading...

 

First, yeah, get the manual.. it will be super beneficial.

 

Second -- to answer part of your question -- basically everything has to come off. Flywheel/stator, clutch assembly, primary gear, shifter stuff, etc. My manual just says to whack it lightly with a soft-face hammer to help break it apart. You'll need a flywheel puller if you don't have one, and something to hold it with if you don't have an impact wrench. I used a Craftsman strap wrench on mine a couple days ago.

03 and spliting the cases man you waste no time well i gues i am just as bad hope to plit mine for a strocker over the summer.

get the manual or hit up jim at passions i think he does not charge to split it if you build the motor and i belive 120 to puytit back together for those prices it is almost worth leaving it to the pros,

i did mine last year, and it was a lot easier than i had anticipated. but buy the book!! i did beforehand, and it made a world of difference. make sure you mark you'r case bolts too. some are shorter or longer than others.
