350 Utility Engine Removal

[dlazyh]

Hello All, It's been awhile but another issue has come up where I need to pull and rebuild the engine. I've got all the bolts removed from the bell housing and I can't get the engine to wiggle off. I don't have the oil pan removed, I don't think it's a necessary move yet unless there's something in there I don't know about?

Update:
I found the problem as there were 2 bolts at the very top of the bell housing holding the top of the engine. They are located under the control stand which had to be moved aside.
Next step is to remove the clutch-fly wheel assembly and get the engine ready for a new ring gear and engine overhaul kit.

Was gonna say was there bolts behind the starter like on an H?

It was a head scratcher for sure. I was totally baffled for the longest time, then I made a push bar that would push between the front motor mounts and a bolt long enough to reach thru the rear engine plate to the bell housing. A few small turns and I could see the engine was trying to pull away, except for the top, where I later found the 2 bolts hidden under a glob of grease and dirt.

And while I am waiting for the new parts, anybody know where I might find the bolt torque specs when mounting the head to the block. If I would have been thinking, I could have reversed checked the torque on the head bolts before taking them off...oh well...lol
