If the gearbox stilll has the diff on,turn the whole engine/box combo onto it's side so the diff is touching the ground.The weight of the engine alone should break the seal.

Ive lifted the engine a little at one end (via crank tail) and struck the gearbox casing with a hyde mallet in the past on stubborn ones, but double check you have removed all the fixings!

That bolt behind the timing cover has caught me out in the past too easy to miss. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

A few gentle taps around the case with a soft head mallet has always worked for me.

Sorry for the rubbish explanation btw. i gave this a shot first as it was the first one to be put up, safe to say it worked perfectly :). shame i forgot to take out the dizzy drive before trying to remove the crank and pistons :( cheers for the help people :) Drives
