I cannot split the block on my B&S 18HP engine. I t is a vertical shaft engine. I removed all the bolts that hold the lowere section on.

I have hit it from every angle. I managed to get a puttty knife in between the two halves. Still will not split. Is there something I can't see?

Ouch...More specific on what you removed before the putty knife insertion.
