Eric used his new harmonic balancer puller to remove the rusted crank pulley. Upon removing the front cover, he removed the cam gear and, eventually, the camshaft. While the journals appear fine, the lobes are in bad condition.
With all those out of the way, the oil pan at the bottom of the engine was removed, which smelled bad, according to Eric. This gave him access to the crankshaft. He discovered that some of the wrist pins were locked up, explaining why the crank was not turning at the start of the teardown.
If you want to save a flooded engine, Eric said you must work on it as soon as possible to prevent corrosion build-ups, as seen in this LS1 teardown.
