Haven't had it apart in two seasons, but it runs great. EGT's have been up to 2000 plenty of times... I wouldn't go any smaller than this (once scaled down for your bore size obviously).

Do you have any more info on your build? I've been wanting to do a garden tractor puller as well...
There is a forum for diesel garden tractor pulling;
dieselgardentractorpulling : Diesel Garden Tractor Pulling
Lots of good info there.

I have been posting pics of mine on the IH registry forum since I started it;
IHREGISTRY FORUM: Pullers Cafe
Look at the archive pages listed at the top of the page too. If you want any more info or help on a build just email me. farmallgray at aol.com (change the "at" to @).
