Bluegillfisher- thanks for the help. Pappy- I will keep in mind that you will be out. I'll order the gasket and once i get it I'll let you know what's going on. Thanks for your help! Have a great time runnin you tique this weekend!!!

how do i get the flywheel off the top of the engine? Do i need a flywheel puller as stated in the repair manual? I believe i need to remove this in order to get to the head gasket, etc.
