ok. thanks.

all that i need to do to take out the crankshaft is unbolt those bolts holding it down, correct?

Does the timing gear come out with it? Is there anything special to putting the crankshaft back in?

I was originally working on compression issues, which lead to pulling pistons to redo rings. That is how I got to this point,but since Im here it seems to make sense to clear out oil lines...
