Crankcase splitting

Post by terwine »

Does anyone have a tip to split the crankcase? I've sprayed seam with penetrating solvent and heated the case next to a stove. Have managed only to get a short .0020 seam next to the fly wheel pry point and left it wedged open a couple of days. Have removed all bolts shown in manual and see no others. Contemplating rigging an inside spreader.

be sure to remove the flywheel, do not force the cases, when everything is loose a gentle tap with a plastic mallet is all that is required.
