Time to pull the engine
During my springbreak I broke a bolt off in the block for the oil cooler and have not been able to get it out. Looks like I am going to be pulling the motor and taking it to the machine shop for them to remove or dril and heilacoil it. Sucks.
What else should I do while the motor is out. At this point it's basically a short block with the pan on it. The whole front and head were already off for some maintance. I figured a rear main seal and I have a slave rebuild kit. I haven't had any issues with the clutch but should I replace it while it's out? If so should I just get a new friction disc and throw out bearing or a whole clutch kit? I would prefer not to spend that much money though. I was thinking about ordering some new motormounts.

Head and manifold are off. The machine shop wants it out. I trust them to drill the required hole of the helicoil truer than me laying on my back with the drill. I even unbolted one side of the cross member some and lowered that side about an inch.
