I am looking for help on my MF65. To make a long story short. My rebuild tractor was smoking a lot with white smoke. So I tried everything I
could with the injectors. So I removed the head to see what I could find. First thing I had about 5 head bolts that was not tight. Then I was
looking at the head gasket. I seen a little blow by between #2 and #3 cylinder. Now I had a motor shop to do all my motor work. So he put new
sleeve and piston in. He did not surface the block or the head. I say all of that to say. I wanted turn over the engine just to see everything move
and the #2 piston sleeve came half the way out. So I knocked it back down and turn over the engine again and it came up again.
So my question is; can I just knock the sleeve down and the head will hold it down? Or is the some kind of glue that will hold that sleeve
down. Or I have to replace the sleeve. I have to old one that we took out. But I hate to have to go back into this motor. So what do you guys
think?
