Take a look here: http://t137.com/registry/help/otherengines/otherengines.php It will tell you what the engine is out of. I believe Oliver used Chrysler engines at one time. The set of rings I put in my 1950 Dodge yesterday were Hastings, listed as Oliver and Chrysler. There are two basic sizes of engine block, a small and large. Small has a head around 23 inches long are are up to 230CID. The big block has a 25 inch head and goes up to I thing 265 in the Chryslers andinductrial series. Parts are easy to get since these engines were made from the early 30"s to the late 60"s. Some industrial series engiens have sodium filled exhaust valves and they all have hardened exhaust seats so unleaded is no problem. Tough and reliable as long as you don"t over-rev them, which wouldn"t be a problem in a tractor. Watch military surplus dealers for parts. I got rings, rod bearings, and main bearings for my Dodge that I must finish rebuilding today (daily driver) for around $100 total from several surplus yards. Email me if you need any help with it.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi.
