I mostly work on 100 hp+ diesels. When I've got one of those apart, I don't cut any corners. I figure it's better to spend the money on parts now than it is to pay for the labor all over again later. However, on somthing like an H, it's only running 1800 RPM's at the most and putting out 30 hp. Very low internal pressure. If the pistons and sleeves are decent, why not reuse them? Soak those pistons in carb cleaner overnight, scrape the carbon out of the ring grooves, slap on a new set of rings, find two more decent sleeves and give them a good honing, have the valves ground, all new bearings including cam bearings, make sure your oil pump is in good shape, good carb and ignition system, and you'll be amazed at what you'll have for the money.
