3.9 Perkins 4-cyl Dry Sleeve Engine Rebuild | Massey Ferguson 270 [EP2]

This is Episode 2 of a full engine rebuild on a Massey Ferguson 270, focused entirely on short block assembly: pulling and pressing dry sleeves, debating sleeve retainer vs. no retainer, installing cam bearing, undersized rod/main bearings, pistons, thrust washers, and freezing liners for fitment. It's hands-on and detailed but assumes prior teardown knowledge and ends before the head, timing, and reinstall, which are covered in later episodes.

An owner-operator documenting their own DIY engine rebuild step-by-step, sharing personal technique choices and reasoning rather than shop-certified procedure.
