9n sleeve and piston kit help

I was wondering if you could use a .040 wall sleeve in ablock that had a .083 overbore piston in it. Thanks

You should take it to your local auto machine shop in your area and get their opinion. You need to have it done right or it won't last. Hal

I suspect what you now have is a .040" sleeve in an engine intended to use .090" sleeves. In this case you would need pistons approximately .080" oversize. If you go to Market Place (in this web site) and click on Tractor Parts > Ford/New Holland > 8N > Engine Pistons and Sleeves; you will find a over size piston and .040" sleeve set listed. Back in the day they would also install over size pistons without sleeves. In this case the pistons would be approximately .180" over size. One of my uncles had his 8N overhauled in this manner.
