I need new .010 oversize rings for a HH100. Since Tecumseh went belly up, parts are hard to find. I found .020 rings. Can the ends be filed to give the clearance needed for .010 and everything work correctly? Thanks....
 
Unless you are doing a concourse restoration on a rare model, I would just repower with something else before spending $2 or two minutes on a worn out Tecumseh.
 
Hi have you checked with the sellers on e bay if you can not find any I would try filing a set of 0.020 over rings yes they may not be perfect but work probably work for as long as you use the tractor.
I find the old Tecumseh cast iron engine to be as good as any other of the time they are very well built I have 2 HH100's 2 HH120"s and 3 OH160's great running engines.

Do a goggle search for tecumseh 32005 or as GB said search tecumseh 32005 on ebay,several sets listed all you have to do is put some effort into locateing.

If you are planning on installing new os rings on a std piston or if eng has an .010 os piston installed & eng burning oil/low on compression,take block to a machine shop that does small eng boreing & have cyl bore checked,same may have excessive wear for either std piston/.010" piston in which case you'll have piston slap or new rings may not seat/seal due to cyl being too out of round & new rings won't cure your problem,also have valve guides checked,this is another source of oil burning.

If bore checked & wear in excess for a .020" os piston/pin set consider buying a std size oem/aftermarket piston/pin set for an HH120(12hp)and have block bored for that piston.The os .030" & .040" piston sets haven't been avail for 20 yrs/more.
 
Contact Hastings at 1-800-776-1088. They list the standard size for the HH-100, but also have oversize rings in most cases, if you ask for them. --- John
