I need some advise. The knowledge on this site is amazing. I have torn down the engine of my 1945 A. I found the block was cracked between the middle two cylinders across the water jacket. The crack continues on both ends and stops at the sleeves. It is impossible to see how far into the block the crack goes however it has apparently been that way for some time; there is erosion across the top of the block from water jacket cell to the next, but does not extend to the sleeves. There is no external crack. I would like to have re-sleeved the engine and replace the pistons, rings and bearings. Now I have some concern as to whether I could remove the sleeves without further damaging the block. Question is, the sleeves look glazed but not scored. One of the pistons has some scoring. Can I hone the cylinders and purchase oversize pistons? I guess true to IHC history, the engine really ran well but missed occasionally and burned some oil. The rest of the tractor has been visually restored to parade quality, which is all I ever intended for the project. Along that same line, the tappets are also worn to the point that it would seem to be difficult to properly set lash after I�ve re-valved the head. Can the tappets be resurfaced or do they need to be replaced? You guys seem to have experienced it all when it comes to these machines and your help would be greatly appreciated. My daddy was a Farmall dealer in Minnesota and I somewhat cut my teeth on them but I never got into a total engine overhaul. A-Bob
