Hello---hoping for some advice from any IH experts out there.
I'm overhauling my 656 C263 gas engine. I have heard a lot about the fitted sleeves that IH put in when the engine was built. And also about the letter markings stamped on the top of the crankcase head deck. A B C and D.
My tractor has one marked D, and the other 5 cylinders are marked C. Can anyone advise on what these markings refer to, as far as required sleeve sizes?
I've been trying to find this info, but without success. I'm getting the sleeve set from AgKits, and they have standard, .003 and also .005 and .O10 oversizes. I want to get the correct ones for this engine. Because I'm told that the standard sleeve sets available from suppliers may be too loose in the engine.
Thanks for any advice!
