The first time I had a problem about a year ago I simply retorqed the studs. It hardly took any torque at all to get them moving. I bought this tractor about 6 years ago and it was supposed to have been recently overhauled so I just figured no one had retorqed the head after it got warmed up. The head gasket stopped leaking and everything was fine until a few weeks ago when it started leaking again. So this time I pulled the head and again the studs hardly took any torque to get them moving. Out of the 9 studs I only had to lean on 1 or 2 of them. I would guess that it only took 20 or 30 ft lbs to back most of them off. The studs are still in the block and I don't see any signs that they are working loose from the block. I just fiqured that maybe the studs are streching and getting fatigued. But I sure don't want to spend $108 on new studs if I don't have to. But I also want this to be fixed and done.
