It's already been taken apart by my mechanic - and everything's just in a box. I'm not 100% on what parts exactly you are talking about.
The head is still in one piece - but off the block. I think the pushrods are all out and sitting in a pile. (What do you advise?)
The crank/pistons are still in-tact - lower unit is not open. By "cap" do you mean the thing on the other end of the connecting rods that go "round" the bearings and hold them in place? (I haven't done this in a while - and never inside the lower unit
)
