Went to Scott's tonight. Brought my gun, but his compressor doesn't have NEARLY the volume that my gun needs.

I squeezed the crap out of the belt around the gears with my hands, and Scott leaned on the breaker bar with the jack handle on it. Finally got them out. All four. In fact, Scott's gun would have probably taken those out of there, if he had an allen bit to fit it, and a compressor to drive it.

Pulled the heads off as well. Nothing really noteworthy found there either, other than his #1 piston stinks really bad. Like, I asked him if he cut one. Stinks. No visible damage in the cylinder walls or camshaft area. There's TONS of the metal shavings he metioned in the bottom end tho. Looks like a bearing or two is gone in the crank. All that's left is to split the block.
