Subject:splitting the case
From:Mark Seifert

Another thing I forgot to ask when I mentioned that I plan to split my case
tomorrow....

From what I remember of the first time, it seems that I'll only have to take
one head off and remove the main bolts, then the oil pump and flywheel, and
the rest of the small bolts around the outside of the case. I have one spare
head gasket to replace that one, but do I also need to replace those metal
ring gaskets at the tops of the cylinders? And the o-rings that go in there?

And as far as other gaskets, what do I need to remove and replace? My plan
is to split the case and pull it apart just enough to put some new sealant
in there and bolt it back up. Do I need to take the pistons off the rods? I
remember that was the hardest part...
