removing front cover
i ve pulled my engine and put another in and now im dismantling my old one and i cant seem to get the front cover off. i ve pulled all the bolts from the cover and the oil pan. iis there a trick to gettin it off w/o breaking anything ?

Take the oil pan off first, makes things much easier as you only have to break one surface free at a time.
If someone previously used silicone instead of a gasket, it can be a pain to remove. I actually cracked one trying to remove it, but on the other hand it wasn't leaking, either

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
get a hammer and tap on the studs that stick out below the dizzy, the mounting studs for the ac bracket, that should knock it loose.. the front covers are stuck on pretty good sometimes

i just took one off today on my junk engine. i just drove a thin screwdriver in, and worked it around the perimeter, prying a little more each time. But maybe you'd want to be a little more careful if you plan to use it over again.
