    Appreciate the Video, Bill. This is the part of pulling that has been mostly lost nowadays. There are still teams out there trying new stuff for cheap, but most are going to the power shops and buying the latest and greatest for the season. I don’t have anywhere near the money to do that. Thanks again for sharing some of your knowledge. Tricks still work, just more of them that are not free.

    Those 619 engines are great engines! I had a 760 scraper tractor. Converted it into a jd 700 tractor with a 619 engine in it. It was an engine without a crankshaft. I did put a crank in it out of a 5400 forage harvester. 13 mm plungers p pump and a garrett turbo from a DAF 11.6 liter truck engine. It ran 7th gear with the scraper final drives. Didn't cost much in those days and we had a lot of fun!

    The crank in that engine weighs as much as a grown man. We had 3 5020's on the farm when I was growing up. Wish I could have kept one of them. I still have a couple of sway blocks and the long section of pto shaft that lived inside the tractor. Love the videos! Be safe Brother! Thomas, Mississippi!

    Back in the late 70s we ran a 426 Hemi in a stock car, used the NASCAR 7.1" long rods and shorter lighter pistons, much better rod angle to crank plus weight savings on pistons. Really like your lifter and pushrod redesign, bet there was quite a weight savings there too. Few builders considered valve train weight back in those days, nice call! It really brings back old memories hearing your stories, I'm here nodding agreement every time you reveal bits of your DIY ingenuity.

      Forgot to mention piston coatings: We had some spray dry molybdenum for piston skirts and white VHT for the tops, coated them and baked on in an oven. Molybdenum held up very well and the VHT was still there when we'd tear down for rebuild.
