I need a new rear sprocket

[Wildcatfan]

Thank you Lance! Now if I can get a few able bodies over here later.

It's been a while since I took that motor out but if I remember right..........   Lift the engine and rotate it so the oil pan comes out the side first and then you have to twist it a little to clear the cage vs the head.  I think   It's been a while..........

It's wrapped up in the tape harness bundle

Well I guess I missed a plug then. Seemed to me I thought the same thing.lol I guess I better look a little harder. Thanks

Thank you lance, I found it..lol Before I started wrenching on that front sprocket to take the chain off I was wondering how that nut worked? Is it reversed threads? It also has that allen screw in the end of it.

you got 2 weeks to get it done and run down to LS for a ride with the dts bunch!!

[Lance-W]

I've never taken the front sprocket off.  I usually just loosen the rear sprocket adjuster and give it some slack that way.  Maybe it's easier to take the front one off but I never have.

I thought about that, I knew it had to come off eventually.  Didnt know if it would be easier with the chain on. I can always use a impact later. Thanks againn:)

Lance, Still want me to get that run going? Slipped my mind with the recent events!

[Wildcatfan]

After a little while today, almost ready to come off. 3 motor mounts bolts and its ready. My dad came by and he thinks we can pull it with leaving the headers on? Idk.. any help is more than none so we'll try it...lol Prob be doing what you said Lance and pulling them off...lol

[Lance-W]

They come off easy.  There's no gaskets or anything to replace.  It's gonna be WAY easier with them off..............

[Wildcatfan]

Maybe I should go ahead and just take them off before he gets here tomorrow.

Take them off. There is only a crush ring gasket that you can/will reuse. If it were turbo'd or using a wideband then using new crush sleeves would be wise.

[Wildcatfan]

I will, I think he is more worried of how header bolts tend to be...but they dont even look rusty, should come right on out with a good jar.

[fabr]

If factory header bolts,no worry.

[Lance-W]

Well did you get it out?  How does the trans look?
