Damn If I knew that they just pop off I would have tried that in the first place. I thought you had to turn them.
The mechanic that came over yesterday ended up stripping another one, so I only got that one left on the back side of the block. I'll try again today when I get home.

Waiting on the guy to get back, he's doing something right now.
I just found out that my dad is secretly one of those, "no replacement for displacement" guys. He was like, "I don't know why you're doing all this to a 4 cylinder. You should have got a old car and put a block in it...I know you're into all that Japanese zing zing ****...."
I had to take a step back and was like
. ITS A CHEVY DAMN SHOW RESPECT!

The war is finally over. Many cuts and about $30 in tools later, and it finally came out.
To save others the trouble, in the future, remember a T-40 star bit works awesome!!!
Getting it all mounted tonight! Pics for realz this time....
