I just picked up a 1947 Farmall H and someone in their infinite wisdom thought a cherrybomb/glasspack muffler that terminated INSIDE the exhaust pipe was a suitable replacement for the 26 dollar muffler they took off... Suffice it to say the engine was siezed with 3 of 4 pistons significantly locked up.
With a fair amount of persuasion I got all the pistons out yesterday and am looking at what will be needed for rebuild. Surprisingly the block, crank, camshaft and valvetrain look to be in great shape so I'm hoping to simply do an in-frame resleeve/rebuild.
So my primary question is on the overall kits that specify an 'overbore' are they expecting the sleeves to be removed, block bored then resleeved? I prefer to skip any boring step and simply resleeve as like I said the block and rest of workings appear to be in great shape...
