What’s really puzzling are the pistons. I inspected the pistons and valves with a borescope. The pistons are flat top. I thought the tilt valve had to have stepped pistons?
Yes, the compression will be low with flat top pistons and a tilt-valve head.

If you are referring to a turbocharger system, there are aftermarket kits for IHC tractors. I think one of this form's member had a similar system on his IHC R120.

I would imagine that, with the opposite combination, you MIGHT have about 5:1, maybe 6:1, compression. That will make an engine that, as Pappy used to say, "wouldn't pull a sick [prostitute] out of bed."
But it'd be a PERFECT candidate for the Keystone turbo!

The block is a SD240 SN 59713. The head is a tilt valve casting no 254544C1.
I was told they pulled the motor to install a Chevy for more power. The water pump bolts were busted so I was hoping it was pulled due to a bad pump.
Correct me if I’m wrong but the SD240 and 220 have the same PN head in the parts book. I could have the head for my SD220 overhauled. It is straight valve. I also have all new valves, guides, and head gasket. Seems like I should swap heads.

Lloyd, I think he already mentioned they're flat tops.
