| I'm building a 262 to pull I am looking for ideas on a higher compression piston does any one have an idea of what could be used with the stock sleeves. I have diesel pistons but I think they are to tall. |

| I understand so far that LP pistons will do. |

Use a standard piston with a longer rod, or use the diesel piston with a shorter rod. Make any compression ratio you want.

| You can machine .200" or .250" off of the tops of diesel pistons and use a thick diesel head gasket....been there dun that many years ago.....don't remember the exact depth of material but it's between .200 and .250. |

| I would guess you are going NA ? If turbo the diesel pistons won't take it. MACK |

| I will be running na, I will be running it in the 4500lbs modified stock antique class, the tractor is actually a D17 diesel with a gas 262 out of a CII combine, I do have the pistons out of the diesel engine, so I will try shaving those pistons, I really didnt want to shave the block, how thick of a head gasket are you talking about, or do you just mean to use the diesel gasket. |

| Diesel gasket is much thicker than a gas gasket. |

| I've been pullin this tractor for a couple of years with the diesel, but with blowing head gaskets and lack of power was never competative. In the classes in ky we were never able to run a turbo. So i decided to build this engine hoping to hang with the Olivers with the bigger 6cyl that dominate the light classes. Funny thing is i was told i could never get this tractor less than 5000lbs, she ways in just under 4500lbs now with very little stripped off of it, but i plan to weigh in at 4000lbs when i am finished. If you need any parts for the 262D shot me a message i still have many parts off the old motor, including a good block. Will post pictures when tractor is done. |

| Wrbewley,there is a combination using the cockshutt version of the same motor that is sleeveless and had a big bore but short stroke. You just need to put the 262 crank in it cause it's longer stroked. I don't remember if it was 280 or 290 something cube. I'd like to see one pull done up that way. |

What kind of rule won't let you run a turbo on a tractor that came from the factory with a turbo? Nonsense!! ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| The tractor is actually a d17 which had the same motor as the 19 but it was not turbo, so according to our rules no turbo allowed on the 17. |

| Blown head gaskets is no problem. Have been running 70 Lb boost on a 262 and have never blown a head gasket. MACK |

| I thank the six cracks in the head had a lot to do with it, I was blowing gaskets about every two hooks. |
