I know an A&P who rebuilds a lot of engines and he doesn't use the

couple of hard-to- see bolts that will definitely make it harder to
split the case; don't forget those.
I rebuild an O-320-E recently and with the use of rubber and plastic
hammer, plastic putty knives, tapping on the thru-studs with a wooden
block and plastic hammer, and various wood wedges, it came apart. The
thru-studs are a tight fit. That's what you have to overcome. Go for it.

Lycoming's Overhaul Manual makes reference to a pressure plate tool, ST-122,
which is used to split the case. Is this tool necessary, or are there alternative
means?

That was my experience with an O-235, which is the only boxer engine I've ever
done. The case halves popped apart very easily. I'm not sure I used any tools
at all, although I might have tapped it with a rubber mallet a bit.

Is anyone doing anything to speak of with the Ford V-6? Any ideas why the 3.0
liter engine has been ignored? I love driving behind these engines but, I don't
find much about them being flown. Not like the Mazda 13B at any rate. Thanks.

I have a O360A1A set up for c/s but am going to use f/p now for a while. I know
I am to pierce the rear plug, is it best to remove it after piercing? Also
there is a tube(?) in the center of the crank in front of the plug, will a new
plug fit easily past this tube when I am ready to go c/s?

Dave,
Service Instruction 1435 indicates punching a 1/8 to 3/16 hole in the rear
plug is sufficient. You can get past the oil tube in the center of the crank
when you want to replace plug as the tube is slightly off center of bore.
