Needing some advice here. I have a 312 block that was running when removed from the 1957 ford but then sat out for a couple years without the heads on it. The crank assembly will not turnover.
So question #1 is: Any suggestions for getting it to spin?
Question #2: The rear main seal assembly seems to have odd shaped bolt heads holding it in place. Looks to be about 7/16 size but my 7/16 socket wont fit down into the space to get onto the bolt head. How do i get them out?
Question#3: In trying to remove the timing chain and gears, the cam gear easily slides but the crank gear wont budge. Thus i cant get the crank gear off which prevents the chain and cam gear from coming off. Any ideas for this stuck crank gear?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Steve
