I too have my block finally apart from my gearbox. It was a very interesting process with help from most mates from ausmini, thanks guys. SO now that it is apart, im in the process of taking out my hot cam. So far i have the oil pump off, which still looks new, and i have the timing cover bolts off. What i need to do is find out how to take the dizzy shaft out, as it looks like a captive bolt, and also how do i get that massive bolt that goes thru the timing cover, i think i need something to hold it so it can turn the nut.
much help needed miniman (Matt) and drmini (Kev)
After you remove the dizzy and the flange thingy under it, screw a long bolt with 5/16"UNF thread (rocker stud is good) into the dizzy driveshaft, and just pull, it will come out.
Are you talking about the big nut on the cam, or the crank pulley bolt? either way it is a 1-5/16" socket size (or 33mm if U got one of those).
Best to undo both while the motor was on the box and flywheel in it. Bit late now...
Use a rattle gun if you have one, otherwise put a bit of 4x3 timber in the block to stop the crank turning whilst you undo nut/bolt.
is there an easier way for both these tasks?

i tried the block of wood, and tried to undo the nut, with no luck, even with me standing on the block it still wouldnt come undone.

also with the dizzy shaft, i have no studs lieing around, as they are all in the block with the head, yep you heard me correctly, "in the block with the head!"
