Message: [QUOTE="GreasyFingers, post: 1229540, member: 2637"] I had to drop the trans because it is a 6 speed and there isn't enough room between the oil pan and cross member to pull the motor forward to clear the clutch of the bell housing. Once I got the motor out I put the valve covers back on and plugged up all the holes to pressure wash it. I put the slide hammer to the GP and after at least a dozen strikes its still not budging. Eventually the tip of the electrode I had to grip onto broke off in the vise grip jaws. I called it quits after it started pouring out and the wind started blowing it in sideways into the carport. I'm going to get a few things cleaned up an organized before I pull the head. I was planning on doing a compression test. Had my compression tester out but couldn't find my compression tester adapter. I tore my place apart looking for it. I'm sure I'll find it lying in plain sight soon as the motor goes back in. I was going to build another one but Hydraulic Supply and Parker have crappy hours and couldn't make it there due to my work schedule. I decided to carry on due to the fact that even if it has low compression, the funds aren't there for a rebuild or new/used motor. Worst case scenario we are biding time so he can put together the funds for a rebuild. Most of these parts can be transferred to a fresh motor.
