Okay guys, got one for you. First, I have not talked to my local machine shop yet. My '41 A needs a head gasket and the front seal repaired. Can the head be milled to increase compression a little? Right now it has flat top pistons and would be put back together with them still in it. But, sometime in the near future I plan on putting the overbore kit in with stepped pistons. If I am able to have the head milled now, will that cause a clearance problem down the road when I do the piston upgrade? Or, if I just do the head gasket now, when I do overhaul it with the overbore/stepped piston kit, can the head be milled any then. I don't want to increase the compression too much now and cause a 30 year old overhaul to start burning oil. This tractor was bough by my grandfather and great grandfather new. It was overhauled about 30 years ago but with the stock piston flat top pistons. It has always been very strong for an A in my opinion. But more power is always nice. Although it hasn't had the cultivators on it for 25 years, the tractor is still worked, and worked hard sometimes. Thanks
