To tru up sleeves in an old gas engine you have to hone at least .010 in most cases. Gas engine sleeves always wear more at the top thus the top ridge. If you want to reuse old pistons with worn ring grooves and install new rings that are going to fit loose in the grooves and install the worn pistons with new rings in sleeves honed oversize go ahead but it is just a patch job and the engine is going to be loose and burn oil. I suppose if you could have the piston grooves remachined and oversized rings installed it would work but no one would spend all that money when new sleeves and pistons are so reasonable. By the way a Super H has cast aluminum pistons that wear much faster than pre 1950 iron pistons. As I state in my first reply it was my OPINION and everyone can do as they please. When I take the time to rebuild an engine I do it right the first time as the tractors I rebuild go to work on my farm and help earn my living, no patch job weekend hobby jobs leave my shop. All blocks are boiled out checked for straitness and corrected as required. Heads are completely rebuilt with new valves, guides and seats. Rods are resized on both ends and new pin bushings installed and fitted. Cranks are cleaned, magnafluxed, checked for straitness and reground. Cams are measured and reground if needed. I consider it money well spent as I have never had to tear down an engine again because somthing is not right and they don't smoke and burn oil either! Now thats my rant!

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
