Just one more example of the inherent superiority of the 3 main design - the
flywheel is held on by studs that are inserted in the crank from the block
side and nuts (nice big regular hex nuts) on the rear side that you can get a
wrench onto! None of these wimpy thin headed flat bolts!
The only possible PITA is if you need to replace the studs, you'd have to
remove the rear main cap for access. But then you rarely need to replace
studs
except at rebuild.

Good to know, Bill, since my '65 has a 3-main engine sitting in it that will be
coming out as soon as I wrap up this '76 engine deal....
