freshly overhauled with a engine kit from Howards this engine started using a little oil. Got around 30 hrs and it would go through a qu. in 6 hrs. Ran 6 mo. with no improvements. Howards was good to us and gave us a replacement set of sleeves and pistons. We installed them and had no oil useage for 20 hrs. but now its back to its qu. every 6 hrs. or so. JD break-in oil was used from the start and tractor was broke-in for 5 hrs. on dyno at varying loads. Starts good and has 100 hp. When the first set of sleeves where removed about half of them had up and down scratches like they had injested something abrasive. To us it appeared as though small balls or particles of carbon had formed above the top ring and where the cause of the scuffing. Everything was inspected and no sign or trace of outsde contamination could be found. We have not pulled the engine down again yet, but I bet the same thing reoccured. The engine was stuck when we purchased the tractor so we have no history of past problems. Any thoughts welcome,we don't want to do this again, thanks, Rod.
