Update on my attempt to remove the crankcase bolt. So I go online and think I’ll just buy the proper tool to do the job. I seen that Mancini has two tools to do this job. So I purchase and spring for the $40.00 bucks for both. Tonight I attempt to use the tool or tools to do the job. Then I realize they won’t work. How can they sell them if you can’t even begin to position them where they need to be? Please see attached photos.
Am I missing something or are they useless based on the location of the crankcase bolt and the recessed position of the bolts due to the the depth of the pulley wheel? I’m so frustrated. The reason I was pulling everything off was to get the cam out so my engine guy could cut a small groove in it for better oiling to my edelbrock performer rpm heads and my Harland sharp roller rockers. At this point I’m thinking it worked before with the same setup except iron 915 heads I don’t think I even have to worry about gettin the cam cut? It’s much more hassle then it’s worth I think. I’d love to get some opinions.
