I recently bought a used head and had the head boiled and cleaned thoroughly. Two valves were replaced and all moved freely before replacing. My problem is while the tractor runs great, when I went to change the oil after running for 2 hours, there was barely 3 quarts to drain out of the pan after filling it up before running. There is oil bubbling out of the spark plugs. I am not sure about oil in the water due to the water not being completely clean prior to use. Could I have placed the head gasket on incorrectly? Could I have a cracked block, and if so, how could I detect it? The engine didn"t smoke, so I am not sure if oil is escaping through the exhaust manifold. The cylinder walls were not scored when I replaced the head, but there are now metal filings in what oil I did drain out of it. Any ideas? thanks in advance
