Engine Removal - Why won't it slide out already.

[JoesEdge]

Since it is your first crack at a Mopar, we'll let it go this time.... :violent1:


But if you repeat this same mistake again, then you will qualify to be an idiot..... LOL! :evil3:


Mistakes aren't always bad, as long you learn from them. :cheers:

Thanks, but I'm still kicking myself in the butt. I would have been done hours sooner if for one second I would have stopped to think that maybe the inspection cover was holding the flywheel (and pressure plate) back.

I was used to a Ford where there's nothing holding it back. The dust cover usually comes out with the engine (like a 302, if I remember right) and there's no inspection cover to worry about.

Well, live and learn. Well, I took the engine over to a shop to get the whole engine gone through. Hopefully that will also solve my camshaft and too long of push rod problem without me having to deal with it.

Now I can pull the tranny out and replace it with the 4 speed I have sitting in the garage. I just need a shifter and everything that goes along with it.
