I had thought that the reason for an over bore kit was to give new life for the block. Isnt the block itself bored a little bigger so that the new sleave seals have a new surface with out rust pits and such to seal against? I havent had the chance to call a machine shop to ask yet. But it makes sense that if the sleaves have bigger pistons, then the sleaves them selves are bigger. I picked up a 1940 "A" last summer that is getting water in the oil pan, and Im afraid to take it apart to see why. A lot of your older farmers never used antifreeze in their tractors and would fill them up in the summer with water, and drain them out just before winter. I suspect that My "A" has some rust between the sleaves and the block, and an oversize sleave would take care of this. O.K. Tractor Guys, is this correct thinking, or am I the only one left standing out in the field? BTW, My dad still to this day fills his old JD "AR" up every summer with water, and to me this is serious tractor abuse, maybe Ill get him a few gallons of antifreeze for x-mas.
