Hello, I recently rebuilt the motor on my 450 gas engine. The motor was seized and after much work and some serious leverage I was able to get the pistons out. When the pistons came out, two of the sleeves came out with them. After getting it all apart and put back together I noticed while under the tractor that the bottom of one of the sleeves has a hair line crack. I rotated the crank and is well below the contact point of piston during travel.
My question is an opinion and experience question, do I have to pull it and replace it? Based on the location my personal opinion is that it is likely to not travel or get any worse and since it is not in the path of the piston travel it should be fine. i would rather have the opinion of those with more experience then relying on perhaps my flawed intuition.
