Measured the cylinders with a bore gage and come up with less than 4.000. WTHeck? Reset the gage and measured again, same thing WTH? Check the micrometers to be sure their not off. Dead on the money. Reset the gage and again and measure. Still way off. I didn't get the exact numbers, because I did not believe the gage, but it's like 3.950-3.975 there abouts. I know the gage and mics are as right as I can check, and a toolmaker for 28 yrs to boot. So I know after three measurments and gage checks, that I didn't blow it when I measured it. Would sleeves and pistons from something else fit in the 251 block? Block # is correct for tractor and 251 cubes. Ideas? Beside check again 4th time is a charm. I could swallow a couple thou difference on the readings but not 10 times that amount. [Reply]   [No Email]

I only measured the one cylinder. I was so blown away I didn't even mess with the rest. It was getting late and I decided to get back at it this weekend since that's the only time I have to work on it. I'm wondering if it wasn't possible that it through a rod (oil pan beat to crap) and the farmer put something in the one cylinder to get up and running. Hence my question about another case tractor size sleeve fitting in the 251 engine. [Reply]  [No Email]

You really have a 244.92 cubic inch engine. But you know the rule. 3.95 rounds up to 4.00. 251 sounds and sells better than 243 learn something new everyday. gobble [Reply]  [No Email]
