    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Had to replace a push tube I had installed incorrectly and it bent during my liner replacement. Got the top set done with a bit thanks to the man Will Wagner, and now it purrs like a very big, loud kitten. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bPmVhyHBRAM...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Pulled the exhaust manifold, heater box, air intake, rocker box, and everything else in the way so I can remove the last head in preparation of replacing the #5 cylinder liner. Not to bad but the Texas heat is a killer.
