Super Ai revival

A friend bought this in Louisiana, hauled it back to Alabama and finally dropped it off here. Worst stuck motor we have seen. But new sleeves, pistons, rings,o rings and it's alive and well. Wife and I had about 40 hours total in it. Runs great now. Amazing how much compression you have with a fresh rebuild!

The head cleaned up better than I would have thought. What did the valves and seats look like. Much rust in the intake and exhaust passages to clean up?

Do you have seat cutters or do you still just lap the valves? I don’t think you could lap the exhaust seats on the two center holes and get them to hold liquid in the combustion chamber when you’re done. Talk about compression, you would really have something if the valves held properly as well. I know you have to do an economy job to keep your customers happy. And the tractor will run fine for the kind of use it will get. Your close up photo is definitely of the seats that were in the best condition. I guess I have to add, “yippie you saved another one” or you’ll get all bent up because I pointed out some things about the fix up.

What ever man......go pick on someone else. I don't think I could do anything that you wouldn't find fault with. I can't believe they allowed your rude a*s back on here. Plenty of compression,we used a valve seat cutter, plenty of compression and the customer is happy.....I really don't give 2 sh*ts what you think. .

we used a valve seat cutter,

This is all you would have had to say. And I would have replied “That’s good to hear, using the proper tool for a step towards a better final job” Previously you always talked about lapping the valves. Carry on and calm down! Okay, I’ll give it to you in a less snarky way, yes the pistons were really rusted bad and yes It required quite a bit of effort to get it running again. Hope that’s better for you than “yippie”.. buts that’s as close as you’ll get as far as propping you up goes. And BTW I have never been banned, seems like someone must have suggested I should have been.

You might be thinking of rustred. He always had plenty to say, but hasn't been on here for a while, thankfully.
