I recently found a 2.0 long block on Ebay, seller said it was laying around for a few years. Heads had been removed previously. Cylinders missing. I am hoping to salvage a case, crank, rods, ...

Removing the pistons required heat prior to driving out the pins. Removing the oil pump was somewhat of a chore, when it finally came out my suspicion was confirmed. Directly behind the pump was filled with white crusty junk. I had suspected during storage it had seen some weather.

I have been using a 3/8" x 2" x 12" steel bar with a two pound hammer to separate the halves. It has opened up a few thou, at least now I am hearing a hollow sound when hammering.

Question: I am thinking the studs going through the case are corroded? I am sure someone has run into this.

thank you,

Make sure all the nuts are off. There’s one that’s a bit hidden.

I triple checked, but was hurried, wife tested negative earlier for Covid, has been sick for a few days.

The connecting rods are a little rusty, so I think this case sat outdoors without cylinders for awhile.

Tomorrow I will check again for a missed fastener before I start pounding. Trying to not use tools of destruction between the case halves.

Keep looking for another through bolt. I just did the same thing splitting my case a few weeks ago and thought I had them all. After pounding away and checking six or a hundred times that all the bolts were out, I found the elusive hidden through bolt.
I can't remember exactly where it was and I have only this pic in my phone but, if you look to the center and slightly above the holes where the lifters reside. You may understand what I mean.
This may not be the precise spot where the bolt was, but it is down in a dark recess, not around the edge of the case like the others. (my case is across town or I would go get a good pic)
It is hidden and covered with old oil and gunk. I was very surprised to find it down there. If you don't know where it is, you have to search. (maybe with a flashlight)

Good Luck.

Thank you, it was hiding under 1/4" of gunk, couldn't make out a bolt at all. She's split now.

Very common issue. Glad you got it figured out.

I'm remembering back in the old days when we somehow figured it out, lots of trial and error, generally more error.

Thanks to all, hope I can be of assistance along the way to others
