[Farmall] F-20 Sleeve installation question

Sun Apr 30 05:24:54 PDT 2006

I got the rings on and the pistons back in. Not a bad day considering that was my first time ever putting pistons in.   Did discover later one of my rocker are (?) shafts to be broken, so now I'm on the lookout for a set.

Thanks,

Tony

That's exactly why I never read service manuals---they keep proving me 
wrong!!!  Seriously though I'd go with the IH specs if possible. I would 
assume its slightly above to help ensure a good seal, especially if you have 
a metal ring around the cylinder opening.

So, how far did you get putting it back together?

John
