Any magic I can use to seperate the crank case cover from the cyl block of my 2001 200hp Merc (with no EFI)<br /><br />thanks.,<br />Greg

Remove the inner and outer bolts, remove the end cap bolts (both ends), and then you should be able to pry them apart. If I remember corrently, there are two recessed prypoints fabbed into the cover (not the block). Find these open notches and take a screwdriver and gently pry.

Tried a little prying action , wouldn't budge.<br />Guess I'll just keep pecking away at it.<br /><br />thanks<br />greg

Check for missed bolts, shouldn't be that hard to get apart on such a new engine.<br /><br />Just wondering, what happened. Why are you having to get inside so early in the engine's life?<br /><br />k
