Good video Lance... I've enjoyed parts 1 to 4. looking forward to more in the future...

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks Lance. Interesting about the head bolt stretch and thanks for the bolt strength info. Reminds me that some of my head studs were corroded- made them noticeably thinner and therefore had to be replaced.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes this is often overlooked I believe.

My father told me to compare the headbolts tread towards eachother.
Hold one hed down, and the other head up.
If there was a difference in tread, it would show up easily.

Yes that would be good advice I would think.

Great video series on the Ferguson 23C, getting ready to restore a Ferguson TE 20. Have you ever done a video on the Massey Ferguson hydraulics? Can't find anyone who knows how to add rear remotes to the MF 175.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Not yet!

That engine looking so good condition.
I bought new head bolt set and there is two extra bolts 132mm. Do you know what is idea for those? Set have nine 125mm bolts so i can use those.
Repairing my MF35 23C engine and cylinders no big wear but one liner cracked and one broken head bolt. So i put new liner, piston, rings and bearings.

Im not sure what they would be for, have a good look and make sure you are not missing something. check my video on the secret tubes in the 23C head, it may save you some drama later.

Hi Lance, as you were struggling to lift off the cylinder head I thought an easier way may have been to rotate the engine on the stand 90 degrees and pull it off sideways . Cheers .

[@BundyBearsShed]

Funny you may say that, when editing I was thinking the same thing, lol.

[@andygough4666]

looks too good an engine to scrap be worth it weight in gold over here in the uk

[@BundyBearsShed]

Good to have a few spares around, wait until you see the pistons and liners!
