farmall a rings and sleaves

blunted · Mar 30, 2011

do you slide the pistons and rings thru the top of sleaves? thanks

That is how I have always done it. Install the crank shaft then one at a time do the pistons and rods

I don't think you can install them from the bottom with the crankshaft installed. Make sure you have number on the rod and caps facing the cam shaft. Hal

I'm a bad speller but shouldn't we be talking about sleeves?

the only one I've slid in from the bottom is on a Crosley.

just a couple of tips if you have never installed them before. use a coffee can with about a quart of new clean motor oil in it to dunk the piston in just before installation, use a piston ring compressor to compress the rings. also, i use 2 lengths of rubber fuel line over the connecting rod bolts when installing the pistons to protect the crankshaft from the conn rod bolts. pretty easy to nick the crankshaft with the bolt threads.
