farmall 340 engine rebuild

R&amp;W · Dec 17, 2014

i am thinking of buying an engine rebuild for my farmall 340 gas from this website. has anyone done this? does anyone know what kind of pistons come with it(dome or flat)? my 340 runs 60 psi and if i put oil in the cylinders it goes up to 120 psi.

Does it smoke, you may just need head work.

I don't know what they have here but you just as
well get a kit somewhere.

I bought a kit on here for my 364 in October and it was good quality and reasonably priced.

would stepped head pistons give it more power? it has fire crater in it now

Fire craters likely give more HP.

Can you even get fire crater pistons anymore?

Also what are we talking about here, 1-2HP maybe? You won't even notice the difference.
