    Keith, This is the stand i'm using.. It is perfect.. Unfortunately it belongs to the man, who's engine is on it.. This picture is from today.. I hope to be able to buy this stand or one just like it.. It's an oldie, but it's a Damn Goody !!

    Many good points about protecting the crank shaft.. I had the good fortune of having the engine on a stand, so the crank was out when I did my work.

    As far as pulling the dry liners out of the 673.. I ran beads of weld inside the liners, and when they cooled, i was able to pull them with my liner puller..

    Since you have these pictures, you may be able to sell it with full disclosure. Someone out there has the head gaskets and other parts to fix it, or use yours for parts to fix theirs.. just sayin'

    I think Harbor Freight has a nut setting tool kit.. They are fairly easy to install.

    Buddy,,, it's moving too fast... engine designs are changing frequently and with more complicated ideas.. I have been away from the dealership for 5 years and I feel like I know absolutely nothing about Diesel engines.. I'm just glad I can come here and chat about the older ones and learn, even if it's by my mistaken postings.. I say 'To Hell 'with Ceramic parts.. yeah I know that ceramic rollers on OHC diesels has been around a long time, but I dont care.. I'm an in-line 6 pushrod guy.. Jojo
  18. Joey Mack
    I was just about to ask the same thing..

    there is a machine shop in Charlotte that said they could ceramic coat the old pistons for re-use.. we opted out, but I would love to see them installed and see it run, for a couple years..
  20. Joey Mack
    just curious, do you not have 4 or is it 8,,, larger diameter studs at the ends of the heads?
  21. Joey Mack
    Here is a sample of the info in the book I posted for you.. If you need part numbers, i will do my best to post the info..
  22. Joey Mack
    I know that one of the END's I took apart had one piece pistons that were longer with more rings. But I think I put updated 2 pc. pistons in... I dont know why I am forgetting.. As you can see,, for me the old pistons are good for pencil holders..

  24. Joey Mack
    What is the condition of the studs, they can be re-used. You have 2 different stud diameters.

    I didnt look at any numbers.. I was thinking about blasting them and then wipe them with varsol.. and putting them in a clean box.
