Friend called me last year. He was having an issue with an 856 IH. Low compression #1. We pulled the head and the vlaves look real good but there was a small wear mark on the liner on #1. All the ring gaps were like ducks in a row. Now this guy could have afforded a clompete overhaul but the 856 hardly gets used now that he got rid of his cows. So we got the ring turned so the gaps were not all in a line, ran a hone through the liner and put in new gaskets. Darn thing run better than it has in years he claims. I don't worry about it cause I told him how I would do it. Rick [Reply]   [No Email]
