Here's a pic of what this rig was originally designed for and

"Garwood" manufactures the recovery winch on the this truck.
The crane is very versatile because of its reach and 360° rotation capabilities but is limited in extreme weight lifting capacity especially with the last boom extension pushed out, (which must be pushed out and pulled in manually)...
One issue present when forced to use a PTO winch solo is knowing when to stop your cable or knowing what's going on on the winch reel.
Here's something I came up with so to be able to keep an eye on the before said.
The (new style)head gasket has metallic seals at front and rear for the oil galleys present on the head.
Building oil pressure by spinning the engine over with the starter without the heads on may prove to be disastrous, the liners can work their way up out of the block quickly unless held down.
Correction: took another look at it and the two oil holes in the rocker arm shaft (for each rocker arm) are at around 100° and 180°(at the bottom), so the oil hole on top of the rocker arm itself does not line up with either oil hole on the shaft at any time.

The shaft is supplied with oil at both ends, there are two oil supply holes per rocker arm near the (edit: bottom radius) of the shaft, and of...
I have a set of rocker arm assemblys off now, i inspected them for blockage in the oil holes to the tops of the rockers and saw none.
