Once the gearbox was removed, I was able to get to the pressure plate,
clutch and flywheel and remove them all:
Then the top end disassembly. The first picture is me taking off the
rocker arm assembly. The second picture is my little brother Jim
removing the cylinder head studs then removing the cylinder head.
Look at those nasty combustion chambers! How could their be any

Knocking off the crankshaft nut and removing the pully
YIKES! Cracked number 2 piston fell apart when we removed it. The
floor below the engine stand was littered with pieces of the broken
piston rings from every cylinder. This old girl is definitely ready for
a rebuild.
I've had the hardest time removing the oil pump body from the crankcase.
I've got all the studs out, but it won't budge. Any ideas?
