So I've gotten my engine down to the crankcase to replace the Pistons for my rebuild but it seems stuck on the clutch side. I've removed all the bolts that I can see and the timing chain side can be pried up. I can't find any info on bolts for this but honestly I don't feel I've missed anything. Only threaded items I see are the two plugs of some sort behind the flywheel area. Any tips would be grateful.

Thanks

 

Take a look at the RealOem illustrated parts breakdown. Chances are the dowel pins require the block to be separated evenly --- both ends and sides lifted the same amount, simultaneously. The breakdown might also show something you missed.

 

Did you pop the two freeze plugs out of the bottom of the block? There are two bolts underneath them. Once you have all the hardware out it should split no problem.

 

I ended up stopping and taking it to the machine shop to finish. I noticed the plugs but I didnt remove them... If thats where they were I missed them. Damn lol. Thanks for the info. I guess I will need to add them after assembly.
