It's a 4-cylinder Continental 140 (F400 series) engine. Replaced the head gasket because it had one sticking valve so I ground the valves and lapped them in after getting the one unstuck. Torqued to factory specs but not after running it so that should be tried I guess. I don't think the engine had much use in it's day, came from a mid 60's MF34 swather and I transplanted it into my Case V which uses that same engine (but in 124 size). The original 124 in the V's had wet sleeves but this one is a sleeveless model, bores in the block. I didn't mill the head or even check it, that might have been a mistake too I guess. Actually, I used the head off the original 124 engine because it had the water temp fitting hole in the right place (the newer head opening would have made things tough for that).
