With the oil filter off, I now have new
found motivation to run through the rest of the case at full speed.
Pulled off oil pump and clutch
housing. The oil pump and filter screen were very clean.
Now that I'm thinking about splitting the
case, I realized I haven't taken the pistons off, so I did that.
Checking to see if I'm ready to split the
case, I realized that I still have the alternator on. Great...
Pulling it sucked. I was cranking it with one hand and holding the
puller with the other when the thing just popped off with a bang.
Scared the crap out of me. After checking for blood coming from
anywhere, I took a little break.
I honestly think I'm ready, so let's turn
it over and take out the bolts.
Ewe... Grime... I hit all the nuts/bolts
with liquid wrench and with a screw driver in one hand and the vacuum in
the other, I started scraping away the yuck and dirt.
Carefully, I got it
apart. Cool, ma, look at all the gears and stuff.
All of this brings me to a
stopping point. Why? Because I can't figure out how to get the
darn shift cam out.
After a couple folks pointing out that
there is a bolt holding the shift cam in place on the top of the case, I
flipped it over and sure enough, I had forgotten to take that bolt
out. Is this laugh number 3 or 4? Who's counting?
So the case is completely empty and I'm
giving it a little soak in some degreaser and will power wash it and see
how clean I can get it before moving on to polishing it.
