Splitting cases?
gowen:
I used a steering wheel puller from advanced auto ($25?) and longer bolts. I now have a crank splitting tool, but the puller from advanced worked for years. I also always used a press to get the crank out.

Just call or email some reputal compnanies. Then you will feel good about sending it out thinking of the price you got. Ask about turnaround time too. The guys, who are doing it daily, have all the tools, presses, mics, ect. plus have the experience to look into common problems. They have relationships with parts mfg's, plating companies and all that. A performance builder can often throw some free mods as a standard method. You will still be very hands on in the process and can save money by doing all that you are ready for.
The guys burnin the gonja are graded on how many extra bolts they can have and still make it run. :? :? :?

So with bong in hand and probably a paper clip to poke the stem with, these guys pressed the engine back together with a floor jack and a pickup truck.
