Are you using the retainer clips that came with those pins on the steering ram? If so I would come up with a plan eliminate them before a stick or the local mud bog removes them and a pin falls out leaving you with no steering. Maybe weld a heavy flat washer on one end so it only comes out one way and drill a hole in the other end to use a big cotter pin.??

Say goodbye 2.06 valves & hello 2.18's!

Goodbye 1.72's & hello 1.88's!

Also new valve stem seals & springs....


Also 3 spare thumbs rods for the current engine should things go south.....
