Did my 1st 914 engine "drop". Not hard at all, except for the stubborn bolts. Gonna do a rebuild on it with new gaskets and stuff like that. Dunno if I should split the case and do the rod bearings. Should I? I know everyone is gonna say "yes" to this question. I am having trouble unscrewing all the engine sheetmetal screws. I've been using vice grips on most of them, but some are hard to reach. any suggestions on removing them? Anything else to watch out for before I tear the thing down? Thanks!

Soaking overnight in a good rust penetrating fluid also helps.

Make sure you use a good quality "big screwdriver" when wacking the bolts or you will split the handle on it (went thru 2 from flaps, got to love "Lifetime guarantee" tools")

Change the screwhead bolts to normal ones when puting them back on. Will make removing them much easier next time.
