B Sleeves

[Gary Dotson]

What you received is a more modern piston / ring design. They will work and perform, probably, better than the old tech parts you removed. Engineers figured out, years ago, that that excess comp. ring was a drag on efficiency, while contributing nothing. Modern ring materials are also far better than they were in the 40's. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully, when installing the rings.

Thanks for that! I’ll sleep better now

I got my sleeves and pistons from Steiners today. Quality looks good, but they do have the made in China aura about them

I talked to someone at steiners today about c123 piston sleeve kit, she said she did not know where it was made, but that it WAS imported!

Looks like you'll have to scratch out the made in the USA on your tractor serial tag, and scribble in, assembled in the USA of domestic and foreign components!
