    That's a ton of info!! I've never seen that type of insert before. Looks very long. I've used heli coil but moved on to time certs since I think they're permanent vs might uncoil if removed again. From the sounds of it you got a new engine without all the casting issues the old stuff had. I'll...

    Holy smokes!!!! After all that with the engine it turned out to be cracked! That stinks...guess you're better off just replacing it with the new engine. Are they rebuilds of certain kinds of castings? I've heard there's different ones depending on year. Is the ip matched with the injectors for a...

    I have some hotrod friends that did the lizard skin spray gel...they swear by it...not sure how it compares to the kilmat but I'll look into that as well.

    The case spreader will make it easier to get out but most use those to set up new gear sets to make sure there is enough preload on the bearings when new...it will be tight but will come out without it...as far as setting it back up after you remove it no not really since it is going back in the...

    If you can clean it up and can't feel it in the bearing rolling it over it that should be ok...hard to tell how hammered it is...can you feel it with the fingernail?...if you end up replacing it I saw a few online for around 120$ so it isn't that expensive...probably check the other side as well...

    You certainly can go with a built 700...the parts they have now actually make them work and not self grenade every other week...there's a reason these didn't come with them and being they really were an absolute design and parts nightmare is just a small one...the 2 parts I think I have heard...
