1) Arrange for a safe place, clean up the surrounding area.
2) Start posting like mad, announcing when the live event will take place (building the Buzz).
3) Get some good quality video equipment to record things, including slow motion.
4) Make sure everything is safe (think Myth Busters). Webcast the event.
5) Post the results on YouTube, etc.
6) Use the money earned by millions of hits, to finance the purchase of the best rebuilt motor you can find.

: Sorry, Scott and Jim, the compressed
: air idea won't work. As soonas there
: is the tiniest crack in the seal, there
: will be a big hiss and the pressure
: will be lost.
:
: No, I haven't tried that idea, but I
: DID try the oil-in-the-bore one. Put
: the plug back in, hit the starter.
: WHAM! A small ooze of oil out from the
: side of the gasket, and
: surprise-surprise a bent conrod.
:
: The cord in the bore methods does work,
: but don't use the starter! Use a long
: bar on a socket on the crank pulley
: bolt.
:
: Going back to earlier posts, weld a nut
: onto the stud - the heat may help, so
: really get it hot'n'glowing. Then
: when it's cooled, wiggle the fabricated
: bolt, to and fro. Try it daily between
: application so your favourite releasing
: agent. Patience will win!

: You know, Scott - that's not a bad
: idea.
: If we gut an old set of spark plugs and
: then silicon in some schrader valves
: (say, for a motorcycle wheel, or any
: other design that positively won't blow
: out (and kill us) under 100+ psi), ...
: viola! The just blip in some air from
: the old compressor. You're right - the
: total pressure applied could easily
: exceed the weight of the block. Once
: the "lock" is broken, if
: necessary, we can resort to the
: "lower the engine" technique
: to tippy-tap it the rest of the way off
: the studs. Nice.
:
: Still doesn't beat lifting the whole
: friggin' car off the ground though!
: That takes the cake. However, I do
: want the video of the C4 removal
: technique in action.
:
: Good idea on the air pressure - I have
: to remember that one for the next time.

: Ciao - Jim

: 100 psi will be 540 lbs of force per
: cylinder - much better than talking!
