I'm with you, Keith.

I always try to do a compression check before I tear one down. That tells you a lot.

Then if you measure the holes and plastigage the journals you ought to know what the minimum repairs are.

My gripe is all the good heads being thrown away because someone can't stand a little crack. It won't be too many years and they will get valuable unless someone starts casting them again.

I only wish there were some way to collect all the good parts being discarded by people who want their tractors to be totally new from the ground up.

I have been known to swap pistons between engines with good results after careful measuring. We rarely buy a sleeve or polish a crank, but put lots of rings and bearings in when an engine is open because the parts are cheap.
