I have a Farmall 560 gas that I recently tore into due to it fouling plugs. Found multiple issues. Ended up sending the head in to the machine shop after first head gasket attempt failed.
I installed the head- all new gaskets, torqued to spec, etc.- I ran it up to temp, retorqued head bolts, and ran it some more (was planning on setting rocker arms once I knew it was good to go). After an hour or so I bumped the rpms up to 2000.
It started spewing oil out from around the cylinder 3 spark plug, and began to blow smoke. Rolled my eyes, and turned tractor off. Oil and antifreeze all over.
I did not use the copper coat, which may solve the issue- but also noticed something else. The head gasket, with the out-of-round fire ring, was sitting on the ever-so-slight lip of the cylinder sleeve on one side. This doesn't seem right to me, but correct me if I'm wrong. Would this cause leaks (as it is not flush?)?
Long story short, having issues, and looking for suggestions. Never had a problem with head gaskets in the past until now. Thanks.

Then, as the big lugged circle of rubber slipped off the last wheel stud it became apparent that there was more there than just an empty tire. Four hundred pounds of rim, tire, and fluid dropped to the ground like a sack of wet cement. Fortunately the installer jumped out of the wa
