Replacing Rings in a 46 H

Illinois Farmall · Jun 8, 2009

I have a 1946 H that is beginning to smoke quite a bit. What is involved in replacing the rings? I"ve never torn into a engine for anything like this and was just wondering how difficult it is to do. Thanks for any advice.

It is a fairly involved process, you have to remove the head and oil pan, then remove rod caps from below, push piston/rod assembly out the top, then you can remove the old rings and install new ones, hone cylinders and then reinstall. HOWEVER, the cylinder sleeves may be worn enough that new rings would not fix the problem and you would need to rebuild the engine.
