Holy Crap! Where do i start? The engine is very clean (no rust on bolts or
headers). I tested one of the 9/16" with a wrench and surprisingly it cam loose
without too much effort. So I figured i would check here before going further.
Starting the engine is not an option as I am doing this to get a defective
starter out. I was originally going to do an engine swap but it is taking too
long to coordinate.

Remove dip stick and shift linkage? Did I forget to mention that this is a '63
with 4 speed?

thanks for your input.
