Honing question?

I recently rebuilt my farmall h and the new sleeves already came honed. Later I was told I should have used a glaze breaker hone on the new sleeves before installation. Is this true? I didn't hone mine and since I have been having a hard time to get the rings to seat. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Bob

Dont know if sleeves come honed....another thought is what type of oil are you using? Had trouble with an engine I rebuilt because I was using a Delo type Diesel oil and was not allowing ring to seat into the cylinder wall. Was an L.P. (propane)engine and didn't have the washing affect that a gas enine would however.

Keep running it ,I never saw a 30 year old tractor that the rings never seated,HA.it might use a little oil till it's broke in but that doenn't hurt anything

It would have been very wise to have "broke the glaze" on the cylinder walls by honing them prior to the installation of the pistons. I have seen this on numerous cases in the past where people didn't, and the piston rings never did seat/seal. The best way I can think to describe this is kind of like applying a fresh coat of paint on to an unprepared surface ... the fresh coat of paint very seldom sticks very well if it sticks at all. There is probably a short cut to remedy this problem short of removing the pistons from the cylinders and honing them out. But I don't know what that would be. Good luck with this query, and if there is a short cut solution to correcting this fault I would sure like to hear it also. I will be leaving the UK in the upcoming months (December or possibly sooner) going back to the states. If there's anyone in Easten New Mexico or the Texas Panhandle needing a hand with restorations, repairs, or maybe a part time extra farmhand or mechanic let me know. I will (hopefully) have a little free time on my hands occasionally and wouldn't mind doing some helping out if someone needs it.

later days mates,

Never honed new sleves in the past but don't how they come now, best way to seat rings is good hard work but don't get it hot. best engines I ever saw were tractors used for demos hard work right out of the box.
