I tried for my first time today to split a type 4 case, and no success.
Is there a trick or secret to this? I am positive I got all the bolts and nuts off, took me a while, but I finally found all of them. I got the flywheel and oil pump off too.


Oil pump, flywheel, and pressure plate are for sale if interested.

If it's really stuck and you have an engine stand, then grab a friend and use a 2x4 and a hammer to tap on the few places you can... that heklped me...

make sure you got the nut down below under the cylinders by the sump !!!

Look in every nook and cranny.........

I got the motor on a stand. I was using a rubber mallet and that didn't work. I will try a 2x4 and hammer. I got every nut I am sure.

I would try a plasma cutter!

Be gentle when using a hammer and a 2x4. You can use a little acetone to around the cracks. it will help loosen up the sealer.

Did you knock out the six through bolts? They love to hang sometimes on the plastic spacers.

This is why you really need my video! We go through the steps one by one and bolt by bolt...

hmmm I dont think I pushed all 6 through...... That could help!

A video would be nice, but sorry to say it, I am going type 1.
I am parting out and selling my 2.0 T4.

So....you are going to a type 1....because you are having troubles parting the case? deeewd....please.....if thats your level of tolerance in engine work, you should be banished to driving GM products...and buying your Chebby engines from GEX.... Ray

...spoken like a true Texan. Whatever bro...

I usually ignore negative feedback coolj30. I don't know what your motivation is but I'll continue to offer you encouragement! Many a time I was ready to give up only to find that I missed the simplest thing. It usually ends in a good laugh and a lesson learned.

Hang in there and be patient.

I am going Type 1 to save some money. And there or more options that are cheaper. And someday I may turbo the type 1 I want to build and everyone says turbo a type 1 not a type 4. I know I will regret selling my 2.0L T4 someday.

By the way I also drive a 1995 Chevrolet Camaro. LOL

Figures...

Man after all the stuff I have been reading and all the folks I have been talking too dont waste your money on a type 1 unless it is a stocker for a trailer queen. Their is no way that I will ever spend anymore money on a type 1 as far as performance goes. Do what you want, everybody does their own thing, Just my 2 cents. Type 4 is the way to go if you want some seerious reliable power.

I have been RAT-A-SIZED Thanks Jake.!
