I understand why you would overbore an engine that didn’t have sleeves. You need to cleanup the cylinder walls. But in a Farmall engine with sleeves, why would one elect to put in overbore pistons and sleeves? Seems like you are asking for trouble with wall flex and overheating. For the little power you gain it seems risky. Am I all wet or what? I have yet to rebuild my Farmall C engine. One of these days it will surely need it and would like to know as much as possible first. If one really gains much and does not cause any problems, should I put in an overbore kit from a Super C. The Super C already has a larger bore with the same block as the C. This would give me almost another 20 cubes. Then, with fire crater pistons, what kind of horsepower increase should I get? Will all this give me cooling problems?
