the reason i say you cant remove it cause they are a bitch to get in there they are not made to be taken out,im guessing your not the one that put it in or you would know why you been sitting there many hours trying to get it out..they are made to fit very very tight on the deck to make the open deck to a m.i.d for less motion and make stronger...and if your able to take it out the block it was in will be off alot and need to be bored to make the cyl walls round again
