yea danm alright. im tryin to finish the conversion brfore the weekend and its gonna take at least monday for a new one. is there any way to get them out without damaging it?

[Fatzook]

Yep. Seal up the entire motor and pump it full of grease.

oil or grease?

Grease. But please don't do it

A common way to dislodge something you don't want to damage is to force grease in behind it. It works like a hydraulic press.

could take the plate off the back of the block and push it through...

Remove the seal housing, 5 bolts on the side 2 on the sump side pry off the housing push seal out using a plastic drift or something soft if your going to reuse seal check for wear check the diagonal groves on the inside of the seal, if gone seal is worn and check to make sure seal is still soft not hard push seal in make sure its even and flush with housing. Use non corrosive sealant to seal up the housing and bolt up and make sure no shit falls into the sump.
