Re: IML: 59 413 engine color

You might have a point here Rob!
Same thing crossed my mind, but I was more thinking of breaking the head of 
the crankshaft bolt..
Leaving the remaining piece of the bolt flush with the 
crankshaft....oughhhh!!!

Any thoughts, anyone? How is risky is that starter motor trick actually??

Thanks,

Robert

  Sounds easy enough. BUT, what if the bolt was siezed in
the crankshaft tighter than normal and you would shear a
tooth on the starter or the ring gear since the engine
would not normally turn over freely from a dead stop?
Remember, 48+ year old "worn" parts you are dealing with.
I'd try the impact route on the bolt if possible.  Rob Kidd
