In Reply to: Blowing head gaskets. posted by Mr. Farmall A on August 01, 2014 at 10:34:47:

Hi

one thing I have come across with many make

tractors blowing gaskets after new ones are

fitted, Is that sometimes a guy gets a load of

crap like carbon/rust drops down the blind hole in the

block when taking it apart. Then the bolt

can bottom on this. when this happens the torque

wrench clicks off. but the heads not down tight on

one or more bolts. if it"s had more than one

gasket in it"s life with nobody cleaning the holes

out, you could have 1/4 or more junk compressed in

the bottom of the holes.



The other thing I just found on a Deere 8430 motor

was the last guy that did the head before it came

here, after running 2 hours and blowing again!.

Was that he way over oiled the bolts, and the oil

ran down the holes causing the studs to hydraulic

lock, in the blind holes in the block. when i un did the head

it was slack, I know it was torqued correct as

factory trained tech made a big thing out of doing

it correctly/ and updates, when the customer fitted gasket blew

after 2 hours as well.

When I got the bolts out the holes were nearly

full of fresh motor oil, cooling fluid can do the same if any gets in the holes on dissassembley and is not cleaned out.

Might not be your problems but worth a mention from what I have seen personally on these jobs.

Regards Robert

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea ... [Read Article]
