pete 23 said: (quoted from post at 10:06:56 08/03/14) I see no one has mentioned the sleeve flange protrusion. Many sleeves manufactured in the last 20 or so years protrude over the blocks too much. This is common on all sleeved engines. Once you blow a gasket they will have a definite tendency to blow in same place again due to slight erosion of block and sleeve flange. I don't like sleeves to protrude more than .002 and that is often hard to obtain. I have a friend who left the sleeves in the block of a 300 and had the block planed because the flange was .008 over block. The wet sleeves are not usually as bad but they are still a problem.
As far as I know the engine has not been rebuilt and the sleeves are original, or at least older than 30 years. I did not see any signs of erosion on the block or sleeves. This will be the thrid time I had to replace the head gasket. I owned this tractor for 13 years and it started to have this problem in the last 4 years. (It sat for 11 years before I bought it, and I knew the last owner who was a guy who ran stuff ragged rather than rebuild things).
