Re: IML: 59 413 engine color

   Sounds easy enough. BUT, what if the bolt was siezed in
the crankshaft tighter than normal and you would shear a
tooth on the starter or the ring gear since the engine
would not normally turn over freely from a dead stop?
Remember, 48+ year old "worn" parts you are dealing with.
I'd try the impact route on the bolt if possible.  Rob Kidd
