[Farmall] F-20 Sleeve installation question

[John Hall]

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?
