How much is too much

Posted by Sloroll on February 09, 2006 at 04:54:44 from (69.66.221.164):

I am working on a relic that is hard to get parts for. It is a relatively slow running engine at 1200 max rpm. The tractor runs well but.. thought I'd check into it as that is just the curiosity thing I have. It looks to be the cylinders have been bored .050 over. That is OK. The cast pistons however are 4.25" stock. Of course the .050 pistons are nonexistant and the cost to bore and sleeve would excede the value of the tractor. It is a parade only machine and was running fine. I am tempted, but not convinced yet to just slap it back together. The tractor had obviously been this way for at least 30 years. I know it would gnaw on me forever though. What'd you do?
