Before I overhauled it, I had a JD 4020 with a goodly amount of blowby.....the overhaul had to do with the cylinder weep holes leaking either coolant or oil....seems that the last overhauler, a prior owner either didn't pay attention to color and position of the cylinder Orings upon removal or whatever in that he got them reversed and were incompatible with the adjacent fluid.
