Gotta have a piston loader to put cylinders in. Or you will break the rings

Nice,liner sleeves installation for cylinderheads.

Why don't you show the rest of it?

Here I go again. Been there done that. Those were the good old days. I was always partial to the 12V71 and the 16V149TIB. I made a good living off those two.

871 SO BAD

How did you get the parts? I thought the government wouldn’t allow it?

The Navy introduced me to 671s in1961
