big bolts

So I got to this point in the disassembly and I decided to take the clutch cover off. There are some big bolts to get to under the clutch and also under the oil pump that are just so much easier to do while the engine is still in the frame. If you were not going to split the cases and just doing a top end for example, then you may want to skip this step. I need to get into the transmission which requires removing the clutch and oil pump to get the the bolts that hold those respective shafts in place. If you take the engine out then try to get those off its just more work. I've done that before but you almost need two people in that case. One to hold the engine on the bench while you also hold the engine and operate the wrench. So its just easier to do while its still in the frame.
