I have a DB 1210 that has blown 3 head gaskets in about 500 hours. The first one blew between the 3rd cylinder and a push rod port. The second two blew between the 3rd and 4th cylinders. Holding a straight edge across the block between the 3rd and 4th there is not really any gap, but holding the straight edge length wise across the middle of the 3rd and 4th I"ve got about .006. I have almost that much gap length wise between 1 and 2 also, but it has never blown there. The head doesn"t seem to have much gap either direction.
Thanks for any help. I like the tractor quite a bit, but I"m getting tired of replacing head gaskets.
