this is killing me. before i read these responses i was just gonna break out the sledge. the engine is toast. i gotta new one. the head is removed as well as the oil pan. i am going to disassemble it as far as i can and look for something to hit with the sledge that isn't an integral part of the bell housing/flywheel/clutch assembly. i've got the engine on it's side for easier access. i will check back here periodically in case someone takes pity and points me in the right direction. thanx for your input so far. ~m wink
