O.K., we're getting it....
I took one of those screw drivers that has a ratch spring inside.... hit'er a few times and got the screws loose......screws are out.
what would be the trick to removing that top part of the oil pump then ? Like, Gary, says "no gaskets", so should it just like be given a wack with a piesce of wood/hammer to break it free, or do I need to remove that shhaft some how, or ? ? ?
Like we got the screws out the shaft is sticking straight up... but she's not (the top of that oil pump) coming loose~off. Does that shaft come away with the top then in one unit ?
Thank You for any advice here K ?
PS: foot note, found a company who powder coats, got a price. both engine casings( high heat application), front fork down tubes, the "oil~bag", along with them soda blasting & taping it all. $ 150.00 good ?
