Ok I feel like such a newbie writing my first hardcore tech post here, but this is my first engine dissasembly, and I'mup against the clock so I need some help here. I just recived a D16Z6 block from a friend, and i'm sending this block off to GE for a sleeve job, but before I send it, it has to be completley stripped. The block came to me with the water pump, oil pump, and crank assembly. I removed the water pump, removed the 5 small bolts on the face of the oil pump, removed the crank bridge with it's 10 huge bolts, and this is where I'm at. Now how do I remove the crank in it's entirety? I've also still got the splined timing belt pulley attatched to the front of the crank, does that need to be removed to remove the crank or can it stay on? From what I can see, it's looks like theres a front and rear section of the block that is atatched with hondabond around the seams (where I removed the smaller bolts around the flywheel pulley and the timing belt pulley) but I'm not sure if these "sections" are supposed to be seperated before removing the crank, even though the crank runs under these peices leading me to belive they should come out.

Bottom line, I don't want to damage the block, and I don't have access to a friends shop manual, AND i've got my back to the wall with time... so I need your help fellas!!

If you removed the main seal and the oil pump and removed the crank girdle you just need to remove the connecting rods and then you can take out the crank.

Relax. You won't damage anything if you don't drop it.

Also remove oil pan studs. I didn't get mine back.
