i cut a liner short so that i can pull it out with ease.. works like a charm.. I set 6 liners today .. all within .001'' per bank.. The shackle is my home made 'sled gauge'.. I check liner height with it..

Engine rebuild on a '53 B-61T: END673

Yep, I keep it greased, you wouldnt believe how easy it is to crank it up, and the pull the pin to rotate it.. Of course when it is fully built it's a little tougher, but still, wayyyyy better than doing these 'in-chassis'.... Just sayin'.. -

7/8'' 12 point bone wrench.. a home made one is just fine.. cut the box end off of a wrench and weld a 1/2'' drive socket to the cut end, and then you can use a 1/2'' drive breaker bar to get it done.. I think the torque is about 175 lbft..

Here is a couple pics of the PAI engine kits that I use.. Much better than a Mack Kit..

Alright Mechaholic...... This ones for you.. Here are some of my home made tools. I have used them many times.. See some of us arent fancy pants.. By the way, ALL of my 7 torque wrenches are ''click type'' not digital, with a beeper.. Any guess's as to which tool is the best one?? She's polishing the crank journals for me.

the part you cant see, is the flat stock that is drilled to match up with the alternator bracket.. I think its 1/2'' thick.. its stout.. I'm heading back out there, if I rotate it I will take pictures of it, and post them. -

I guess I should have posted these pic's, Keith.. It's an ENDT 673, for a '61-ish B-Model.. The stand was made by one of his employee's.. its a strong stand but I have to use my engine crane to rotate it.. and I will have to take it off the stand and put it on blocks so I can put the flywheel housing on it, cant put the pan on without the front and rear covers.. I'm just glad it's not in the truck.. just sayin'.. Jojo

to me,, an RB is an RD on steroids,, heavier frame, if I remember right, similar to the RW, I have only worked on/ driven a couple of them..

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.
