I"ve read some were made without sleeves. Are they visible in the bottom of the bore with the oil pan off?? I have 4 engines,and I want to rebuild one that was sleeved. Thanks
the thin 040 sleeves can be hard to see if you are familiar with them. I bet they are sleeved. Easier to take the head off to check them also.(quoted from post at 10:20:45 01/24/13) I figured you could see them, but the first one I opened up, I couldn't. I've read and read, and a few places said some of the 2Ns came without sleeves, and steel wheels. The one I opened today was from a '48, but could have been made during the wartime conservation period. I guess I'll open up another one tomorrow. I just want a sleeved one to rebuild, for the ease and cheaper to rebuild next time. The engine is the original one to the tractor. I was hoping it was sleeved. When I pulled the oil pan I expected them to stand out, but after cleaning around the bore, it all looks like solid cast.
I heard if you have a star at the end of the serial# the motor has size 40 sleeves. A star at each end of # has size 90. Just what I read somewhere. If I am wrong I"m sure someone with more knowlege will corect me. Lots of luck and fun on your rebuild.

With the head off, it looks like it has .040s sitting about .040 below the deck. Does that sound right. Still looks like solid cast at the bottom though.
(quoted from post at 09:54:16 01/24/13) I just went through the same ordeal. Mt sleeves were removed and had oversize pistons in the bare block. The pistons were stamped .083 on top. there was a pretty good ridge around the top of the bore were the lip of the sleeve used to set. Mine was worn bad enough that I had to put custom .125 sleeves from melling back in. It turned out real nice but it wasn't cheap
