removing main caps

grab yourself a cheap body knocker/dent puller. grind a 1/4" grade 5 or more bolt. grind the under side of the head as close to a 45 degree angle as you can. round the edges off the head. now you can put it in the end of the puller. now grab you drill and the correct size bit to drill a hole to tap for a 1/4" x 20tpi hole. drill a hole in the middle of each main cap 3/8" deep. now take the tap and grind the point off. tap the hole, blow out junk from the tapping. screw knocker in hole and knock out main cap.

I wouldn`t do that to any motor that makes any horse power, we cracked # 3 main on the the hemi and everything was in excellent shape, line honed by an excellent machinist, perfect clearances. perfect crank, and it was 4 bolt mains. it will really weaken a cast iron main cap!
