As many of you know, I have an H project tractor going on here and I am having fun with it. No matter how I cut it, it is sucking oil in the #4 cylinder and I am going to go in there and check it out. I have about 70 # compression on that cylinder...I think way too low..and it smokes a little. I take the plug wire off #4 and it quits smoking...so I am burning oil. I dropped the pan tonight and removed the head. I am sending the head out tomorrow to get the valves ground while I am doing the other stuff. I have no motor experience but I learn quick. Here is what is going on inside my head. Tomorrow I intend to take just one Piston out, #4 so I can see just what ring set goes in there...best I can tell, there are 2 or 3 different types and widths depending on the piston. Here is the question that I need some guidance on. One hole at a time, I need to understand the inspection procedure to determine the sleeve wear to determine whether it is in tolerance for a new set of standard rings or whether I am a candidate for new pistons and sleeves. If someone has experience with this and can give me the A,B,Cs, as I said, I can follow directions. As a note, I have good oil pressure, and the engine does not knock or rattle...so, I will not be messing with the bearings on this go around. Just going to put APPROPRIATE new set of rings in it--if, keeping my fingers crossed, possible. TW
