making a puller out of plate is a great idea. That or tapping threads into it and making a slide hammer. Nice to see the progress!

Thanks for sharing! Hope you can get the piston out !

Hi, I'm a new subscriber to your channel, I'm enjoying the Ford 8700 rebuild videos. What is your Instagram channel would like to follow you there too. When I was younger (late 80's) I used to operate a TW-10 & TW-20 owned by my brother, we replaced both engines with two TW-25 engines. We had a few issues with the original engines, dropping valves etc... You will love your 8700 (9700) when you rebuild it. The 700 series (TW) Q Cab were great cabs too. Keep up the good work.

Hey i have a problem with my ford 4000 diesel its revving randomly by its self and it wont shut off from the shut off switch

Might not be a bad idea to try heating the liner and or piston with oil on top so that way when it expands the oil runs down in. And if all else fails make a heavy steel plate to go over top of piston and liner with a grease fitting or to hook a porter power up to pressurize it and force it down. Once you get it to move you'll be home free I think. Last resort is melt it out with a torch than chip remaining bits out with chisel. You'll get it maybe not the first try but one time it will just fall out ;)

I have ford 3600 And he has a lot of power..

I was 5 months old when that engine was assembled. Hope you can free that piston up.

dam you dont sound scared at all messing with that motor. a BFH got that pistion out!! just think if youre having fun with this one the 56 is right behind the 87! lol

Great video man, what are you doing with the 6.0?

How much power are you trying to get out of it in the end?
