Brian, does that H have firecrater pistons? That design does alot of good, the extra turbulence created inside the cyl really mixes things up alot better than stepped head pistons. Especially on the exhaust stroke,, where the air is more of dead headed path, where the crater creates a spiral shooting towards the valve to help evacuate the cyl. Makes a world of difference in my opinion. Ive got a Div 4-5 H Farmall Im putting back together, (finally) With such high compression that it had, was running a flattop style piston,, and opted to go with a dished piston, which is a firecrater,,, I had built one earlier this year with a smaller stroke,,, same piston,,, and had less compression than the exact duplicate I have in another tractor,,,, That engine had 40 psi less inthe cyl pressure, but still had 4 more hp at 540 and about 10 more on the low end torque curve over the flat top piston with higher compression. It has to be the firecrater design,,,, Stock IH performance,,,, what more can a guy ask for!! I cant wait to get that H going again,,,, Chad
