Putting the engine back together

Posted by TKN on March 14, 2005 at 11:05:55 from (192.112.2.60):

I am rebuilding a B Farmall and am ready to put the engine back together. I have a few questions:

I did not put in new sleeves, but new rings on the pistons. Do I need to hone the sleeves? There are no ridges and they look pretty clean.

Do I use any sealant on the gaskets when I am putting the engine back together? Seems like I rememer my dad using something more for keeping the gasket in place than for sealing.

And finally, as I put the rod and main bearings in and attach the rods back to the crankshaft, do I need to lube the bearings, pistons, cam shaft etc?

Thanks for any help!
