As usual the I&T manual omitted the torque values for the pre 391xxx H rod caps. Have seen 40# somewhere some time ago, but can't verify that. Who's got the right spec and where is it listed? BTW way the "firecrater" pistons I got from A&I
had quite a bit of flashing on the tops and took an hour of careful polishing to get them smoothed out. Sleeves are in the freezer. Valve train kit should arrive local shop today.I'd better get that gas tank painted and mounted! I am going to try and purchase a straight steel fuel line from NAPA and bend to shape. Anyone know the length of the long fuel line from strainer to carb, or can you use a string and measure one that is already on your H?

Sleeves are in. Gave the block a light film of lubriplate, sleeves from freezer got a light coat of syntethetic gun oil. Went in not hard, not easy, just a light coaxing with my heavy rubber mallet and oak scrap wood block. Just for fun I cut it 41/2 inches in diameter on the band saw, 3/4 hole in the middle to store it with the puller!

The IH service manual says 40 ft.lb for rod caps and 75 ft/lb. for the crank, with no mention of serial number. One of the pistons that came from IH needed some work to finish it off. It actually looked like it was a different casting. My sleeves went in with just a bump with the handle of a 2 lb hammer. I used a block of hardwood across the mouth of the sleeve. Now you're getting to the fun part.

My IH shop manual lists the rod torque at 40 ft-lbs for the H Farmall. That seems a little strange since the rod torque for the A's,B's and C's is 40 to 43 ft-lbs with nuts locked with cotter pins and 43 to 49 ft-lbs with self-locking nuts. Hal
