<VV> Problems with a 140 tear down

[Bob Gilbert]

The current plan is to cut the con rods, remove the cylinder barrel sets and
, if I can , save the case, and the (hopefully) nitrided crankshaft.
Regards,
Bob
PS I have a second motor on its way.

If it is an "&" marked crank (nitrided), maybe it would be worth just taking
your Sawzall to it with a metal cutting blade and just slice the cylinders
off -- or maybe you have a big band saw you could run it through.
