Hi I have a Farmall H I am going to overhaul this winter. I found a set of 560 lp 3 9/16 pistons fairly priced. I was wondering if I could remove my pistons and sleeves, hone the walle, then just put the other sleeves in. Would this work? I want to stock pull this a couple times and plow at plow days. Would it hurt to work it all day? What is the purpose of sleeves exactly? Thanks a lot.
Matt

Ray has good info for you. Another way to get more cubic inches is to get a stroker crank. You get more cubic inches and keep the original thicknes in your cylinder walls. Don't know if there are any available but a good speed shop may be able to point you at a good machine shop. Or do both. You can go as fast as you spend!

Good luck Don

Sleeves are used so the block is rebuildable many times. Non sleeve blocks are "throwaways" after a rebuild or two. I have seen engines that were designed for sleeves run without sleeves. I've also bored an engine that had been run without sleeves and installed oversize sleeves and went back to stock bore. You can run some engines without sleeves. If you don't ruin the bore too badly you could always add sleeves later to save the engine.
