Head Gasket problems

Posted by Darin in Nebraska on May 08, 2005 at 19:51:51 from (216.170.15.84):

I have an International 240 utility and the head gasket was leaking on the right hand side when sitting on it. It was leaking oil, very little. I was rebuilding the oil pump so I thought that I would change that while I had it torn apart. Well, good news is that my oil pressure problem is fixed. Bad news is, it leaks worse now. I guess that is what I get for thinking. The head gasket I got was metal on one side and gasket material on the other. The old one had metal on both sides and gasket material in the middle. Does anybody think that is the problem?? I didn't know if the height difference would do that or not. I did not have the head check out for flatness, I hoped that it was flat since it really didnt' leak that bad to begin with. I recheck the torque on the bolts. Next weekend I think I'll find a head gasket that was like the old one and try that. I ran it for about an hour and the leaking slowed down. Then the next day when I ran it, it was worse.. Any suggestions???? Thanks
