- In this video I do some work to a pulling cylinder head for a Big Block Deere. These pose a bit of a challenge to modify cheaply because they use 7/16" valve stems so without doing guides it is pretty well stuck to stock valves. So I change the angles do some porting and make the best I can out of the stock parts with some better valve springs it should live happy life of 3000rpm pulling.
Brian, I have been enjoying your videos since you used a sledge hammer to break up the old concrete in your old and very ventilated shop. I remember the heart break when your crane dropped your new machine and broke your floor and your radial arm drill. I recognize that your videos aren't polished and you don't talk like a youtuber, but I think you deserve a much bigger audience. You know so many things and there are many people missing out on your knowledge. I hope you stick around for a while so we can continue to enjoy your work.
Thanks, the appreciation means a lot. I plan to keep on. 😎
Nice work Brian.
I always like seeing the Big HBM Action. 👍👍
Thanks for sharing.
Flat as a farmers field.
Nice Brian sized parts washer, thanks for sharing
Great job Brian. That parts washer will come in handy

Yes He is, practically a neighbor. Only lives 398 miles away on the other side of the Rockies.
619 heads like to crack so why would they be flat😂. Always neat to see you modify the John Deere engines
Thank you Brian!
Nice job on the head. The washer will come in handy. Thanks for sharing Brian.
I detected those secret spark plug holes.
Another great job! Best wishes. (Woof). 😎👍👀✅
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Nice job Brian!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty cool Brian. --Doozer
You were drowning that poor tractor's head. Every time it came up for air you pushed it back down. Had not seen one of those old parts washers in years. The new high-pressure jets, hot water, and detergent, washer cabinets being used today sure beat the old Hot Tank Caustic chemical cleaner tank of old. A grocery store owner brought in several of his baking sheets and wanted them cleaned. The rebuild shop guy said the caustic was rough on aluminum but the grocer said "let's try it anyway" and when the pans came out a few hours later, the only thing left were the steel rods that were rolled into the lip of the pans.
Yep they make cleaners for aluminum but the ones not compatible are sure not good for it! lol The spray type ones do a good job cleaning the outside but don't work very good on the inside.
Thanks for sharing
Dad always said how nice the Magnus tanks worked at the Cat service department.
Yep I can throw a 3406 block in there and get it cleaned up nice. 😊
Nice work
Big Block Deere cylinder Head..
Frick I thought you were talking about a John Deere D .😆
A D is like a little baby at only 500cubes :-)
@@bcbloc02u r right it was my baby at 8yrs old. I was in my glory cutting hay and listening to that baby engine pop all day long. Pretty good a eight yr old could crank that fly wheel over.👍
Great video as always!
It's flat NOW! Blessings!
Can you do the dishes in that machine? I better get one LOL
And was the dog! LOL
Good job brian
You need to put some lye in the parts washer and heat it. The lye will eat the grease and the paint off. Just dont put any aluminum or brass in it. It will eat that too.
A lot of the valve covers timing covers and oil pans are aluminum so maybe I am. Best off staying with the weak stuff.
Great Video Brian, what brand of oil do you run in your Dodge Crewcab.
Was that head already being run in a supped up pulling tractor?
Do you have sort of a rule of thumb for the radius you set the fly cutter to? Like 1.5X head width?
Not really, I just try to set it so it is mostly cuts across the head with the cutting forces. I don't want the cutter trying to bang the head forwards and backwards on my table as that gives poor finish.
Never straight. First two holes are ALWAYS going to do their own thing. That temperature delta from the radiator makes more of a difference than people think.
Nice job Brian. Is Bailey still the shop supervisor? Haven't seen him in any of your videos.
Baily passed away a year and a half ago. 😭 I posted about it on here but I guess most people never saw it. I tried to make a video but it was too hard. I sure do miss that old dog.🐶
@@bcbloc02 I am very sorry Brian. I guess I missed it. I don't always get your videos anymore. I lost both of my little dogs within the last 3 years, and I was heartbroken. About this time last year my best friend and neighbor was just a couple of weeks away from passing from cancer. He knew how much I missed my little dogs, so he got me a little female Something. I know her daddy is a white male Chihuahua, and her mother was some tiny little black dog. When he gave her to me, he left an eternal smile inside me. She is the top of the world to me. I named her "Snuggles "I am sure Bailey is missed and was loved by many. Thanks for the response.
@@terrycannon570 I am glad you have a good dog in snuggles. I have like ten other rescue dogs here but none are my shadow like Baily was or that can be responsible like Baily was. They are still fun dogs I love but they are a lot different too.

When you were cutting the head, it looked like the cutter had two different cutting depths! Looked like as the cutter went through first cut was light and then as head progressed the second one was deeper! Does you cutter have this feature and does it have advantages?
There were 2 passes shown but I adjusted the feed between the 2 passes.
@@bcbloc02 In the video on your second pass, it just looked like there was a very fine cut being made before the final cut! Could have been my prescription though!
I thought the same thing on the second pass on that head but I realized it was the lighting that looked like it was making that pass and when the cutter head blocked the background lighting you could see it was only making the one cut. Kind of an optical illusion from the lights for filming.
Edit: it’s more of a shadow, you can see the background lights, then the shadow, then the actual cutting taking place. Sure came out nice!
@@frednewman2162 Yeah what you are seeing is the shadow from the head facing head as I have a light behind the camera.
How much did you have to take off? .020? Always seems like they are never flat even when you buy a new casting that has never been run.
I don't remember exactly but it was probably .015"
