[AJD] 35 D

[Gary Epps]

The '35 D is stuck worse than I thought.  I have the head off and the valves
unstuck.  I'm headed out to work on the pistons now.  I will try to break
the pistons loose by using a bar on the flywheel.  If that fails I think I
will put the head back on and fill the crankcase with diesel fuel and try to
loosen the pistons by pulling it in gear.

My question is what is the purpose of the lead washer under the nuts on the
head bolt studs?  The parts manual states that it takes 18 washer per head.
There are only 9 head bolt studs.  The implied suggestion is that it takes
two per head.  Am I over-looking something?  Next question, Why two per head
bolt?  Any of you D guys have an answer for this?
