the gear was seized on so my teacher with 20 years experience took a blow torch and lightly applied heat then we took a gear puller and pulled it off. nothing was glowing

Is there still a big hoop on the back(flywheel side) of the block that was around the end of the crank?

Yea, some reason sounds like a man is or was still on.

Thats what I am thinking too. A crank should lift strait up. If its getting hung up on the timing gear that means they are lifting from one side.
