Does anyone know of any companies that make an engine rebuild kit, or sleeve kit for a 41 SC. This engine as been gone through once before, and the larger bore 3-5/8" pistons and sleeves were installed. My number 3 and 4 cylinders are pretty out of round. 1 and 2 are ok. A few years back I had installed new rings, head, valves, and did an ok spray paint job. Now that I have moved into my first house, I took the tractor home from the (what used to be ours) cabin, and put it in the garage. Figured I would tear it down completely and do it right. I need to know the best way to get the gunk out of the coolant passages. Taking the cylinders out would be my guess, but if I do that, I want to make sure that if one is cracked, I can find a replacement. Realistically, I want a whole set.I also need to know if there are any leads to new tranny housing gaskets/clutch housing gaskets. Or have more of you had better luck making them out of the gasket material? Anyone got any good parts suppliers that specialize in Case? Lastly, Took the patch off the left side of the engine (behind the carburetor). Looks like someone had already welded the crack (probably from freezing up here in MN). I removed the patch, sanded it down, cleaned it up and smeared in some jb weld. Should hold pretty good I think. Anyone have any experience with this?
