Default Re: Pulling rear main cap with counter weighted crank

Additional note: This info might not help as it involves a B engine ...

When I built the full pressure B block in 1976 I cut a "V" notch in the Model A Flywheel housing per instructions from Bill Kenz.

This engine had a factory "C" crank and the bearing cap was removable IF the crank was turned to a certain position.

I never tried it with a "BB" crank with the pinned on counter weights.

Like stated above there are so many counter weight sized weights that you would have to try it and see how big the V Notch has to be and if it is removable with your crank.

As I remember one of the problems was that the B rear main bolts, being longer, would not go up far enough to get the cap out in addition to the larger size of the cap itself and getting the cap removed.
