Hi guys,
The hits keep on coming with this bumblebee engine. Seems the "builder" slathered the sealing surfaces of the case with black (or maybe gray) RTV and I can't figure out how to break its grip. All the bolts are out (yes, the hidden one too), but the sides won't budge. Even with a spreader under tension for a few hours. I only wish I didn't have to get this case decked...I'm sure it wouldn't leak (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Any ideas / tips / tricks? |
