I am working on a Super M. After pulling the Head to un stick #3 Cylinder I have decided to re ring the engine. After pulling the piston it was apparent that the choice was correct as all three rings were stuck soundly in the piston. Otherwise the engine had a small ring groove and does not show signs of wear. My question has to do with the proper spec for engine rings. I do not have a bore gage but the piston measured at 4.120. I have been told that an M is supposed to be a 4.0 but some people chose to rebuild with a thinner sleeve to add volume to the engine. Is this correct and if so what kind of problems will I encounter in purchasing the correct ring. Someone please shed some knowledge on this subject. I considered using a local IH dealer until I found that it will cost more than twice the price from YT. Yeah I am stingy. The I D Tag on the tractor is L-505551-JA.
