2 bolts on the trans diff cover, and 2 (13mm??) bolts to the engine block. I missed the 2nd bolt to the block for a few minutes...

These were the 2 bolts..motor is now out and on the stand. going to pull the heads off shortly and then flip it over and pull the pan.

What do I need to do to get the Harmonic Balancer off, the bolt is out, but I don't really seen a way to take it off? This definitley isn't the same as my old small block chevy motors.

2 prybars.

Where am I prying so I don't damage anything? Should I have the water pump and the idler pulley off at this point too?

Motor is out and on the stand, heads are off, rod/main bearings look good, just not sure where the metal came from...must be the cam bearings. Have to get the balancer off and pull the timing set to get the cam out and see what everything looks like.

Did you get your motor back up and running again?

Awesome, well, hopefully that is corrected and you will be ready to rock soon!!!

Hehe..I won't be driving the GP but I'm sure I can meet up with you next weekend and follow you. It's going to be in Crystal Lake right?

Nah, the prybars worked.
