When I had the head off when I first got it the valves didn't stick but I didn't check for clearance and I'm pretty sure but not positive that I cleaned the valves. I guess it's time to tear her back down again. I didn't go as far as disassembling the timing gears and such. I just took out the connecting rod and piston. Everything else was in good shape. I totally forgot about honing til my uncle talked to me about him honing something else I can't recall. Well, at this point might as well strip her down and start restoring her. I'm going to create a different thread in the restoration section for tips and stuff. My last attempt at restoring a tractor went over poorly.
But there's always a second chance, and I have a sand blaster this time.:biggrin2.gif:
