Few days back We discussed this....I opened the holes in the bottom web of the Super A block to 3.434 in. The sleeves are 3.436 in.OD. (may be a few few ten thousandths off either way ) A 3.434 sleeve (scrap pile gage, turned on lathe) will slide in the hole , 3.436 won't go. Then...Readin' the I&T service manual, manual says " All sleeves should enter crankcase bores ( what I'm callin' holes in bottom web ) and should be free to rotate by hand when tried in bores without sealin' rings". It's not a big deal either way but what do I do now, press the sleeves in as they are OR chuck the sleeves in the lathe and take enough off the bottoms of the sleeves so they will rotate by hand? It won't take long to take a.001 to .0015 off....Also sleeve standout is between.003 to .007 so that is alot of leeway there, what would all Yaw'll shoot for? I'm gonna run this with a 240 head, I think I've read compression ratio is 6 to 1. If I have the head shaved .060 what would it be, or what would I get shavein'off .125.I don't mind buyin 92 octane to cultivate a few acres of truck patch, maybe 50 hrs a year of actual work is all this tractor will ever do, but I sure don't want to get so radical it becomes a Shed Queen or a Pullin Darlin'..Thanks for the Help
