    Ok guys, got all the motor put back together but cant get the timing cap on the clutch cover out so I can get the motor a T1, are there any tricks or tips to getting this thing off besides a big screwdriver because that route does not seem to be working for me....

    Thanks!!!

    I had to use a lot of force to break mine free, even after a liberal penetrating oil soaking from both sides.

    I heard a quarter and a vice grips works well.

    A nickel or quarter, with a big-ish pair of pliers.
