Hi all,I have an 52 8n,I was getting a lot of white smoke from it.I did compression test,all cylinders were about 120 dry.It was running hot also.So I tore it down to find a bad head gaskit and valves needed new seals.I ground vavles and put in new seals had radiator redone.I pulled one of the pistons out to take a look and check rod bearings,The front and rear of the piston had scuffs from top of piston to bottom.it didn"t look severe,but you coould tell it was rocking around in there.Is this pretty normal for the 8n"s or should I replace all the pistons, rings and rod bearings.any info would be helpfull,As I just bought the tractor last year.It had been sitting for a few years so I don"t know the history on the motor.THank you David
