This was an update to those guys, Diesel Dan & others, who were very helpful on my previous low compression post & thanks so much, but I tryed to just re-ring the old pistons & never changed the sleeves so the compression is about 260psi now & it should be 400 psi so I'm going to put new pistons & sleeves in now. Before the ring job it was about 330 psi which was hard to start. The taper on the sleeves is way out of tolerance but just barely at the max wear ID which is why I thought a ring job would do it, but guess not. This is on a Diesel 1969Case 580CK TLB. I was going to reuse the new rings & head gasket. Is that ok since I only checked compression & it never started which I guess was because the compression was too low but it sure smoked allot (white smoke)? Thanks again. Jim Maloney
