Crank Bolt stuck
So I was dropping in a cam in my LT1, was spinning the motor with Pully bolt, and now it wont budge... Its stuck beyond belief.. I have a ARP bolt in there and with a breaker bar wont budge, with Air gun 120PSI wont budge... So I ended up dropping motor out bottom( Very easy I found out, i will always do it this way...) anyways, I have the long block out with everything off...and was curious, will a good machine shop be able to get it out?? Thanks for any help

youre trying to back the bolt out now???? it should definitely come out easily with the impact. i dunno, maybe you cross threaded it in there ??? try a bigger breaker bar with a pipe on the end as an extention.... machine shops gonna do the same thing more than likely

I would stay away from the impact gun. If it's that stuck then it will just beat the **** out of the bolt head or the socket.
If your flywheel is off then I'd bolt it back on and stick a screwdriver through one of the holes in the flywheel and let it catch on the block and use a cheater bar on the crank bolt. Make sure to use a six point socket.
