I've done a rebore with new aluminum pistons, new rings and a valve job on my 'B'. My first try at any engine work. How should I run her so the rings seat and engine runs like it should? Any tips on the initial start up? Thanks for your help.

For oil, go to Deere and pick up some "break in oil". That is the way it is labeled. I got it in gallon jugs for my B. As the other have stated, run at different speeds. Never hold her at one speed too long. Vary it every few minutes. You can work her, but not 100% load. Enjoy your B.

When the new engine is first run...it must be put on a load with-in the first 20 minutes of operation, to seat the rings. If you don't, they may never seat properly. Not a full-power load, necessarily, but a good sustained load, to cause pressure to build behind the rings, to force them out into contact with the cykinder walls..before the cylinders glaze up, which takes about 20 minutes of operation...

Tests have confirmed this.. Ron..

I always like to put a little oil in the cylinders before I start a new engine. Also on a new engine never run it for long periods of time with the trollte set in one place and don't lug it
