I am tearing down an LS1 to send to the machine shop and I am to the point of pulling the crank out. Is there a particular sequence in which I should loosen the main cap bolts and studs? Thanks in advance for all your help guys.

 

just pull really hard on it...

 

Well I tried that and it didn't work. Anybody have any serious answers? lol

 

you have the caps off and the crank wont come off? Are you sure thatyou have all of the caps off?

 

the main caps has bolts on the side of block. 10mm soket.

 

No I have just never messed with aluminum blocks before and I want to make sure not to warp the block. The caps are still bolted on. Do I need take out the bolts and studs in a certain sequence. (ie the ones on the outside first then work my way ing or something like that?)

 

No. its fine. Just loosen them up. Then pull them out.. But i believe you need a tool to reailine

 

K thanks for the info I will keep that tool in mind when it comes time to re-assemble.
