Would need to transfer PSRU over to new engine. How hard is that?

It=99s not too difficult, it mounts in place of the flywheel housing. You have to remove the flywheel housing from the back of the Ram engine first. That=99s held on with about six bolts through the back of the housing and about eight bolts through the oil pan, there=99s also a couple of dowel pins. After the bolts are removed, a few taps from a rubber mallet might be needed to free it from the dowels. To remove the redrive, you first need to remove the prop spacer which is held on with several Allen head bolts. These bolts are torqued on pretty tight and are deep in their holes, you might need a long Allen socket for these. Then you remove the redrive the same way you removed the flywheel housing. As I recall, there are a few extra threaded holes in the face of the redrive that you can used to push it off of the dowels by screwing the mounting bolts into them and bottoming them against the engine block. As a side note, I had my aluminum prop extension turned down and installed a steel sleeve on it to keep the oil seal from wearing grooves in it. -- Bryan Martin N61BM, CH 601 XL, RAM Subaru, Stratus re-drive. > On Jun 13, 2017, at 8:48 AM, jpkarnes@comcast.net wrote: > > Hi all, > > Have decided to replace my block with one from Ram (long story).

No biggie, however if you send Ron all your accessori es he'll install and run the new engine on the dyno. When you get it back, it's ready to install and go fly.
