Hi Walt. I'm sure that you will get many reply's on this question. First off 
as a previous ( maybe still) member has often said "Get a Manual" (:>). No 
you do not need to "split" the tractor to remove the block. The frame holds 
the tractor together and you can remove the entire engine with out the 
tractor falling apart. (:>) Just undo the connecting rods from the crank 
following all good and proper practices such as marking what comes from 
where. Unhook any and  all lines, unbolt the block and have some friends 
lift it out for you. (:>) Boring out to .125 over should not be a problem on 
overheating. I you need a copy of the procedure, let me know and I'll make 
you a copy. Good Luck. John Grant
