I am going at from outside and need opinions on best way to remove outer skin. I went today to purchase some cutting disks for the grinders, but wonder if circular/skill saw at proper depth is the best option? I have researched a few recent jobs and of course they start with skin on ground or sawhorses. I am pulling the motor and starting destruction Saturday (dedicating entire weekend) and hope to have core removed with 2 full days of work.

I like using an air die grinder with a thin 3 inch abrasive cutoff disk on it. this thin disk doesnt waste much material in the kerf. Do you have a decient air compressor?? if not an electric dremil tool might work but there pretty light duty. I did mine from the inside. but not sure how I will do the next one. Thankfully Steve did all the hard work for me on my new 224. dave

Also, do you have an engine lift and stand? I have a stand, and I still have Artie's lift from when I did my engine swap.

Yes Dave I have a descent compressor and die grinder...
Not as nice as many here, but should handle this job ok (2HP, 150PSI, 33 gallon, . I started looking and cutting discs and they were labeled masonry, metal, concrete and I really wasn't sure which route to take. The metal was the thinnest, but wasn't sure if it was good option - hence the question.
With electric dewalt angle grinder, compressor and die grinder, and good circular saw I feel I can get the job done and the expense of the multimaster isn't justified.
Edgar if you get bored and want to watch the destruction I hope to be working all weekend, and other than a good laugh I can provide a cold beer [].

Chuck if you go the cutoff tool route I use the thin ones made for steel. they slice right in and you can follow a pretty good strait line if your careful. Dont forget mask and gloves, and long sleeves.

Chuck - what type of bracket? Twin hub or single? I know you have a single engine but the more the better on a 224....
