Tore apart the engine, broke it down and this is what I found. Sleeve on the #3 was cracked and missing the lip on top. Upon tearing the tractor apart I found alot of wearable items that were in desperate need of atention.
My next question is: when I was cleaning the top of the pistions and valves off, I turned the crank to get them to the top of the block and #1 sleeve came up with the piston. Pushes up and down easy. This engine was rebuilt by a machine shop about 6 years ago top to bottom. Arent the sleeves suposed to be a tight fit in the cylindar wall or is that a little normal? Some one that has, and rebuilt there 8n told me that the slevees go in easy after you freeze them for a while and that the head gasket helps hold them down.
