Well, until you have actually worked on an EMD 567, 645, or 710, all the "studying them" in the world will not help you actually installing that fork & blade rod basket assembly/design (and knowing which bank the blade rod goes on). Also, the EMD design uses a floating piston held by a simple snap ring on the piston carrier assembly.
I have helped overhaul Detroits, and when I begin seriously studying EMD’s the design made perfect sense to me based on my understanding of Detroits.
