RE: Getting 'the bolt' off a loose engine

If your going to tear it down anyway why don't you figure out which piston
is on the compression stroke, pull out the plug a and fill it with oil?
Replace the plug and voila!  Try compressing oil, bent connecting rods sure
can't.

Subject: Getting 'the bolt' off a loose engine


The first difficulty with MB001293 - the harmonic damper is still on
the engine.   The alternator bracket is also still there, so I can
attach #2084 - but with 300+ lb ft, the engine is going to want to turn.

I may well wind up having to build some sort of jig to hold it.

Anyone got any clever ideas?
