What is the most probable cause of a water leak under one head bolt on an 8N. Have installed new head gasket, had the head milled and torqued all head bolts to spec. Did not use any head gasket sealer (Copper Coat etc).

Phil - been there done that on more than one occasion. My corrective solution was/is to torque the head down according to manu specs. Once you start the tractor, let it get completely up to operating temp. Shut it off and then retorque the head bolts. You will be suprised. Since i started doing this i haven't had any more problems.

There will probably be some solutions forthcoming, but I had the same problem with a head gasket from a gasket set from CT. Could not get it to stop weeping. Pulled the head and got one from FNH and never had a problem. The FNH head had a little different setup with the aluminum ribs around the various openings.

FWIW
