I disassembled the engine to rebuild and found it does"nt have sleeves in the cylinders. The bore is the same as the old c-221(3and9/16"s). Is this common to the combine engines or is this a truck engine? I"m going to overhaul this engine regardless, but was curious about the lack of sleeves. Thank you for any insight.

Early, older combines used truck engine, BD220, BD264 etc and they were also sleeveless. Then they started using the farm div engines but did not sleeve them. [Reply]  [No Email]
