I'm gathering information about restoring a Farmall A, and I have a question about overhauling the engine. This may seem a bit redundant, but it confuses me. Any kits I have seen that included the sleeves had a note attached that said "sleeves & sleeve seals, pistons & piston rings (overbore from 3" to 3-1\8")". This looks to me like I would have to have the cylinders bored from the factory 3" to 3 1\8". Is that right? If so, why can I not seem to find a sleeve set that does not require boring the engine? Wasn't that the point of having the sleeves? Also, any other info you may have for a first-timer would be helpful as well.
