Dewayne, I replaced the head gasket on my IH C. Thought it was weird that the sleeves were about .010 inches above the rest of the block. Boys at Case IH said that was normal. I'm not sure about that. Are your sleeves level with the block?

If there is a next time for me, I'm using a thin coating of RTV on both sides of my head gasket. George
