super dexta

Sometimes I throw them a curve but usually they have it, or will have it in stock at 8am tomorrow everyday except Sunday- that's when they're closed.

I have tried TISCO before but sometimes their kits are missing critical items.

lol about when ye mentioned the *older more experienced & patient guys* ;^)

I learned a bunch about sizing the sleeves the hard way. It only takes one foul-up in hay baling season to make a feller remember to be more attentive to the fit.

If you see my post above you'll see I am soon to be undertaking a rebuild of a Super Dexta. The whole prospect of the job worries me but i'm willing to give it a try. Do you have any suggestions or tips on where to start etc. I have a manual so will probably follow that. I have a hone that mounts into a hand held drill, will this do for honing out the liners!!!

If I'm in a hurry or have a bunch of stuff going on I have mine done in town at the machine shop. They only charge me like $50 to $60 to set the sleeves and hot bath the block.

When you tear into your SD if the sleeves are'nt cracked or worn egg shaped a set of rings will do, plus have the head worked.

The things to watch for even on a good looking cylinder is a hair line cracked sleeve, and/or cracked piston skirts. On the crankshaft be sure to check for rough spots and wear groove.

I can't think of anything special about your engine to warn you of except the cracked sleeve and cracked piston skirts. It is a very simple engine to work on.

One other thing I would recommend is to have the fuel injector pump and fuel injectors cleaned and re-calibrated.
