A lot of guys that pull tractors with me bore the blocks out and make them so the rings will be able to get set in. I bored my '49 M gas out to a 4 1/8, but I put the sleeves in it. Kicks about 65 horsepower. I don't know how much power a diesel would get but it should be up around 60 at least if you turn the pump up on it. I have always wanted to try it, but there isn't any diesels around my area. If you don't want to wear the block out, do what I did, but if it doesn't matter, bore it out, and run high dome pistons right on the walls. My only concern would be overheating. If you overheat, put a thermostate in the engine. That's what I had to do. Good luck!!
