164 Engine Re-build

[John Saeli]

Sleeves & Pistons are not available for the famed CASE 164 Dry Sleeve Engine. A customer did what I have been suggesting, but didn't go any farther than that. He removed the Sleeves and found a FORD Engine Piston that will work in the Block bore. He had to custom make Pin bushings. At this point, everything else for the 164 is still available. His machinist did the work, so he couldn't tell me what Piston, but after you get a bore measurement, any good engine shop has a catalog with detailed piston size listings. Never give up!!

If you can find them, 188 or 201 case gas pistons will work also

Didn't know that, but can't find them. However, maybe that Ford Piston will work in 1 of those engines.
