Bell housing to engine drop issues.
92 LS 5 MUA5 and 6VD1-W
Alright yall. Trying to remove the bell housing from the engine and we got a few issues.
#1) No problems
#2) Unsure if bolt belongs.
#3) Looks like a broken bolt shaft remains. Can see the old, circular imprint of the bolt head.
#4) No bolt belongs.
#5) Unsure if bolt belongs.
#6) Is seized/cant turn. Heated with torch. Breaker bar twists the extensions, but cant turn enough to break it free. No rust od corrosion visible. I'm concerned about breaking the bolt head off of the shaft, potentially leaving two or more broken shafts in the engine block.
#7) Bolt exists. Haven't tried to loosen yet.
#8) Bolt exists. Haven't tried to loosen yet.
#9) Unsure if bolt should exist. There is significant engine block material behind it, indicating that a bolt could exist, but should it?
#10) Bolt exists. No problems.
You can see some uncertainty here on how many bolts there should be.
seized number 6 is really seized. Tried heat and pneumatic (with a small compressor, don’t want to snap it, also used jack to relieve downward force)
New clutch and flywheel and bearings etc to go in once I get this thing dropped.
What insight might yall have? Currently stuck here.
Appreciate ya.
