Did you remove the dist 1st?

I should have some lit. on the 163, I'll need your email. If you could email me some photos of the machine and what you have performed thus far, it should jar the memory banks.

You'll probably have to lift the front of the motor w/ a come along about 6". Place some wood beneath the trany to support, then lower alittle. Remove the torque convertor bolts from the fly wheel. The torque should spin freely. Remove the bolts going to the engine from the trany side.

The engine should be ready to be removed. Remember, the trany must be secure on the wood, there should be little downward resistance on the engine/trany. The torque stays w/ the transmission. I usually split the engine/trany w/ screw drivers. Be careful not to get hurt, if done incorrectly somthing may drop hard, no undo excessive pressure or force.

The engine should be gently rocked out and backwards, nothing missing, nothing broken on your person.

Send me the photos for a clearer understanding.
