[AJD] Question

[John B]

I do not see why the frame could not be installed after the block and head. Just raise it into place from underneath and bolt it on. You had a tough time removing the head and block most likely because of the gunk and dirt that wedges itself between those parts and the frame. With everything cleaned up, it will still be a tight fit, but should slide together more easily than on the disassembly. 

The part of the head that sticks below the frame will not interfere. Otherwise, how would the head fit be able to  fit normally?
