Regarding the timing marks, I aligned the cam gear with the crank gear per the marks on the gears (punch marks). The punch marks didn't align on center, in other words the cam gear marks would end up either to the right or left of the crank gear mark and the I&T picture and description wasn't clear. I set them marks on the cam gear to the left of the crank marks (as you are standing in front of the motor) Could that be part of my issue?
At TDC both valves are closed and the head was check when rebuilt, but I need to verify when the intake is closing in relationship to when the crank is coming up on TDC, I only verified the valved clearance at TDC and verified both valves were closed. It almost has to be timing as the issue is common to all 6 clinders or installed the rings bass ackwards.
Regarding the boring of a 291 to a 301, long story short, I had two options once the motor was tore down and taken to the machine shop for cleaning (I bought it as a non running tractor). 1) Due to a previous rebuild rebuild, I was advised by the machine shop to junk the block (they had modifed for a different sleeve configuration and 291 sleeves would not work) or 2) machine out and resleeve (custom sleeves) for a 301, with proper sleeve thinkness. At the time it added up le$$ to do the latter. Hind site is always 20/20...........buying a running 221/263 may of been a better option. Thanks again.

He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac
