Hi, First, I want to say thanks to the posters on this board. I've learned alot from reading and it's been a great help. I've been tasked with rebuilding an Allis Chalmers B gas tractor that's on my wife's family farm. It's a 1950. The thing ran (although I never really saw it run) and they complained it smoked blue real bad. The final straw was a massive oil leak at the front crank snout. So I broke it down and took the engine home to take it apart. I had to drill and tap the crank pully to pull it off, no prob. All else was easy. I can't see any sign this has ever been apart before. But overall, it looks super; no water damage or rust, and the cam looks great, the crank mains and journals look really nice. There bores are tapered at the top so there's a big ridge. I've decided I'm just going to do a complete rebuild with new sleeves. I just used a 4x4 block (wasn't even oak, it was pine) to smack the liners out. It was easier than I thought it would be. So, I want to send the block to a machine shop to boil it out. Lots of crud. Question: I see the cam and governer bearings are "split". Does this mean they can be installed without a pilot tool? Can I press them in by tapping them in? Or should I have the machine shop do it?
