Hey everyone,
Small problem. I'm working on my 1956 plymouth plaza - 277 3 spd.
Found a coolant leak between the timing cover and block. To remove the front cover, needed to loosten the oil pan. Broke the pan gasket and I don't see any way of getting the pan out w/o lifting the engine. GREAT! (please let me know if there is another way - without cutting my front cross member) To disconnect the bell hsg from the block, all of the bolts can be reached "easily" enough, except one. I removed the dust cover from the trans and found one dirty little bolt on the lower pass side, up inside of the bell hsg. I can just reach it with a long wrench and I did get it loose. But, before I get it all of the way out, is this bolt actually a guide pin? I'm not sure that even if I can get it out all the way that I'll be able to get it back in again. It doesn't look like there's enough room to completely remove it (in between the flywheel and the interior wall of the bell hsg).
So, do I have to lift the engine to remove the pan, and, is this a bolt or a guide pin?
Anyone else out there who's done this before, any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks everyone,
Matt
