Update on engine progress: At sometime during this engines life, someone has been inside it. It's been bored .030 over, the crank had been turned...

Texas I now what you mean.
I agree with the method Texas said. Raise one side of the bed, slide the bed back or remove the bed all together. There's 2 wires you'll need to...
