Default honed and reringed k241 Running hot

Just got my tractor running again and it seems to be running extra hot. Is this normal or what should I check into?

did you readjust the carb after the rering? got your ign timing and governor set correctly? about the only other things that will cause it to run hot are plugged cooling fins or excessive friction. now that being said new rings are meant for a round bore. not an egg shaped bore. so until the rings wear into the egg shaped bore there's more concentrated pressure in small areas of the rings and bore

Still seems to be hot. Or gets hot very quickly. I've got the carb tweaked and used it a total of about 3 hours so far. Anyone have a temp gun and could check their cyl head when there engine is hot.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
