I put new rings in my 50 8n. had trouble starting it and when it did it smoked as bad as it did before I put rings in it. I called a friend of mine who is a very good mechanic and he told me to put some oil in each cylinder and run it for 2 hours. He told me that rings has to have enough time to conform or seat into each cylinder wall if you haven't put new sleeves in it. Well I did and about after 30 minutes I noticed the smoke started backing off. After an hour is really backed off. Now the only time is smokes it when you give it the throttle then stops. I haven't run it with a brush hog yet so I don't know how it will do then but for now it seems to be okay. The oil cap is interesting. Maybe you have so much blow by that your compression is so low it makes it run rough. By plugging up the oil cap it forces the compression to go up. Just a guess. Don't know if that will help you or not. Just my 3 cents worth.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
