Thank you! Will be adding that to my 2015 write-offs on the ‘ol tax return 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎
On this same topic, I went through a batch of the older 18/20/25 blocks last week, and for the badly stuck ones, I couldn’t free up the connecting rod screws and had to drill them out to salvage the cranks. I literally bent/twisted my allen wrenches. The ‘good’ blocks, the screws freed up normally with little effort.
I tried heating them up with a propane torch and using blaster, but no luck. Any recommendations/tricks on getting these suckers loose? Or is it just a matter of a little beefier allen wrench?
