That is cool. Thanks!


At the end it says working time was 1220 hours, presumably by somebody who knew what he was doing.

Neat, but push rods and only two valves per cylinder?  I didn't see what he used for a torque wrench.

There are a lot of u-tube vids on this if you start clicking after it is thru. I watched several on cut shot shell---I remember folks doing this when I was young--and some music.
Thanks for the links.
