I have a 611B that was running really bad and turns out to have a burned exhaust valve. I seem to be able to find valve parts that will work but I can't find a head gasket. There is an after market head gasket that fits the 148 and 159 engines but the fire ring will be partially in the cumbustion chamber. It has an opening about .050 smaller than the bore. Does anyone know a source for nos gaskets? Or what are my chances of getting the original head gasket to reseal? What would you put on it to help seal it. The gasket remained on the block untorn. My third option is using the to small of head gasket, will this cause preignition having the gasket hang in the bore?
Thanks for any advise, I would hate to scrap the tractor over a head gasket.
