It was a warm day in Minnesota, and we mean 37 degrees. Fired up the heater, and got to work on removing the oil pan. The parts even came in after 3 days from VB. After several hours, pan is out. Yay.
Problem: I can't seem to get the rearmost big end bearing cap off. I can wiggle it forwards & backwards a tiny bit, but it won't budge in any other direction. Looking at the diagrams and such, I don't see how this is possible. Should I tap gently on the crankshaft a bit rearword? It seems from the tiny view I have, thrust bearings are in there. Talk about irony. On my drive home, my MINI's battery is super-low on charge, not enough to start. I had to get a jump start home. I try to start the engine again in the garage, and it's back to its insufficient charge state. Ugh. Your messages not reaching the list?
