This is what happens when you over press a Cummings OE sleeve.

Some sleeves just get all cracked up over their life time.

The Big M

Today's project

New bushings for the Farmall M

Machining connecting rods to operational condition.

When new piston rings are installed, the cylinder walls MUST be given an appropriate crosshatch pattern. The scratches help the new rings "wear in", and they also hold oil on the cylinder wall, which reduces the wear on the piston rings and the cylinder. It might even improve fuel economy because the engine will have less internal friction.
