I have a Farmall A that I plan on restoring soon which will require a engine overall. I have a couple of questions which I would appreciate any input from you guys. 1. I have read the add for the Tisco kits. Have any of you bought these kits and have you been satisfied with them ? 2. The kits are availale with stepped pistons. If the engine now has flat pistons can you switch to stepped pistons and if so can you expect any real difference in performance. Does any additional work need to be done to the head / valves to accomodate the stepped pistons. 3. Last question. Have any of you had your engines balanced and did you notice any real improvement. I spoke to a local shop today that has been aroud a long time with a great reputation. The cost is around $ 250 for a 4 cylinder gas engine. The fellow told me don't expect any real gain in H.P. but the engine will definitly run smoother. I relize that a Farmall A isn't exactly a big block racing engine but I plan on keeping this tractor for a long time and really want to do right. Thanks guys for your help.
