Hello,
New member here. Glad to find this forum! I recently purchased a 1930 V engine (my first old harley engine) that's complete minus the front head and carb and I'm now in the process of disassembling it to see what I can reuse. It's in pretty rough shape externally so I've been slowly working through removing all the rusted, stripped and/or stuck bolts and nuts using every trick I know including soaking in Kroil, heat and welding nuts to the ends. I've made really good progress there but I notice for example the cam cover doesn't want to move much after removing all the bolts.

What's the trick to removing the cam cover? Do I need to use a puller?
