Keep everything organized. Its very important. You need to label stuff and put it in baggies.
Also keep it together, like in a box. So you have all the parts.
NOTE TO SELF!!!!

Step 4: Remove the 6 large case bolts. The small
case bolts. And The oil pump, I used 2 screw drivers just don't mess up
the case.
Make sure you get all the bolts.
Then lay the case on the #3 & #4 cylinder side, and
tap the large bolt studs with a hammer, make sure you hold the upper
part of the case up so the other part falls off.
Make sure get the lifters in the correct spot.
Step 5:
Pull the crank assembly, and other parts out.
Make sure to ay the crank down on the correct side. and
mark it, and the rod #'s.
Also check for wear and assess what new parts you need.
I needed new gears and a cam.
The distributor drive gear has to come out, there are
2 washers that go with it.
Bag them up.

Next inspect case for wear, mine didn't have hardly any
wear, so it didn't need bored out, if yours is bad, bore it out.
Now the fun Part.
CLEAN THE CASE THROUGH, AND THROUGH!!!!!!!
I used Paint thinner, and a tooth brush, maybe gasoline
but paint thinner doesn't stink as bad, and it works better. Its only $2
a gallon any ways.
Get the old paper and grease off, that way the new seals
can do there job well.
remove the Key, the oil slinger and the 1st washer.
Then remove the rods making sure to mark/write down the
numbers and directions of you moves.
Step 6 or 7??
Lay the parts back out, fully oiled. Be sure it is oiled
or greased, or it will rust. Lay the parts back ot, and cover them up until
you get the parts. Also, go over the case one more time, and get off any
paper, or grease clumps. Remove the crank gears.

Well, to make an update on my
Engine stuff. The bearings i got were stock, and well now that I
got them, I realized The case has been bored out, past .50 over bore, and
the crank was reground. Well, the new bearings I thought were the
right size...I got those yesterday. They fit perfect around the crank
shaft,...But rocked in the case. :( Well, not cool, I will check out the
bore when steve comes over with his micrometer. I disassembled my
DP engine, It needed a rebuild, I need to get the gears off then it can
back together... But until then......I'm waiting for my parts.

I got the gears off today with a 2 prong
puller down at the shop in my town, the guy gave me the puller, and I did
it right there in the garage. Then I put the crank in, new bearings all
around, I closed the case, and tried to get the distributor drive shaft
in line...no go, I chewed up some gears, then I took the case back apart(It
only had 4 bolts holding it together, I thought this might happen, I was
prepared...Well I took the cam out, and then lined up the timing shaft,
and closed the case, but before we put the 1st case bolt on, I turned around
and noticed....MY CAMSHAFT.....DUH!!!!!
So I took the case off again and then made sure the marks
lined up, and walla!! I go her bolted and permatexed together. The new
oil pump, in which I chipped while getting off with 2 screw drivers....Hey,
I've gotten 2 others off with no prob. We'll, lets just The pump base was
HUGE. Matt La Rou enterprises, also didn't send a few other parts...Ticks
me off....(read in a sarcastic voice)"Oh No, This happens all the time".....NO
IT DOESN'T......From matt yes...from others...not so often.
Well, that's about it for now. Still working on S.P.
Bearings....
