Need to pull a piston and see for sure. Guess I'll be the first to say it, but I'd put 4 new sleeves and pistons in if it were me. The pistons in it now could be sloppy loose, the sleeves could be wore and have a large groove at the top. New rings won't fix either of those problems and without taking the groove off the sleeve you could smash your newly installed top ring. AaronSEIA [Reply]  [No Email]

But improvements started almost imediately and continued until the end of 201 production. The 201 in a late WD is quite a differant animal than a 1934 WC engine in features and performance.

Over the years it might have been overhauled with an over-bore 4-1/8" kit which would take different rings. It should have flat top pistons. If you find crater pistons, then it likely would have a WD45 crank installed. [Reply]  [No Email]

COBLE, 08-05-2012 16:48:40   Well being a styled WC it should have the same engine as the WC/WD but and this is the big thing is you have no idea what may or may not have been done to it over the years so a person pretty much need to open it up then order the parts because it could have been modified in the 50 plus years is has run [Reply]  [No Email]
