glaze buster hua?
not familiar with that stuff...
i use machinist honing oil

A glaze-buster is the finest hone you can get. Like if you just wanted to re-ring something.

So I got the engine apart some more.
I have Brazil rods. So that's cool lol.

And here's the worst of the cylinders and the only rod bearing that wore through the babbit.

Worst part is. Long ago(3 years) I guess.
I traded a 48 International I-4 that I restored for this engine. It's cool though. I couldn't give the tractor away. Just was hoping for a drop in special. But I'm glad now because I know it will be all fresh.

At this point I wouldn't have it any other way. I mean why wouldn't I want the crank to be scored? Lol
Hard to tell but it just catches the fingernail.
Ugh. Maybe a polish will do

Bummer. Are you going to balance it?

 

[IDIoit]

again, shell buff out!

Bummer. Are you going to balance it?

I'm not opposed to that. But do you think it's necessary on this build? What would I gain with stock injectors and an hx35?

 

[BrandonMag]

I just figured since you've got it all apart it may be an option. It would give you the ability to up the power in the future with little worry.

It's easy to point out what COULD be done when it's not your money, isn't it?

Does balancing smooth out the 6bt like it does the IDI? That alone might be worth it.

Very cool project. Subscribed.

 

[BrandonBerkosky]

Got some patching done while my engine sits sad and alone in the corner.

Looks good man. I used to think I'd have the patience for the metal work but I'm not sure anymore. I have new appreciation for guys that are good at this stuff.
