Quick question probably long answer. The engines the farmalls have are the cylinders already sleeved? If so is there a need to machine the cylinders before putting in new sleeves. I understand and know the head will probably have to be machined. So does the cylinders need to honed/machined at all thanks for your input.
 
The new dry sleeves are very close to correct. I have installed many sets that were good to go on install. They are thin, so irregularities in the "native" cylinder bore need to be good. I have needed to straight hone a couple of them to create correct clearance and make them round. Putting it together without checking fit is not best practice. Fit is checked with bore and piston micrometers, or using a feeler gauge and testing multiple points on the skirts W/O piston rings. Jim
 
When I install new sleeves I will hone the block cyl.walls to take out the rust,etc.so as to leave a smooth surface for the new sleeve can be inserted dirt free.
 
Do not hone the block. You do not want to remove any metal from the bores. Seldom is there a problem with a sleeve being to tight, usually they are too loose. Just clean the bores.
 
Thank you all for your advice. Hopefully when I get the kit they will fall into place. Thankfully from what I get from yall is that's a pretty good possibility. Thank you again.
