Hi Guys,
I can't seem to fix this leak. I've got coolent leaking into the oil. It takes about 1/2 of running to contaminate the oil big time.
So, I replaced the head gasked....no change
Then I pulled out the cylinder sleeves replaced the o-rings, sent the head to be checked, checked the block deck to be sure it is flat. Left the pan off after reinstalling the sleeves and filled the block with antifreeze...no leaking of antifreeze.
Sleeve protrusion above the deck ws .007 on all cylinders.
Replaced the head gasked...retorqued.
I am new at all this engine work.
Again, took about 20 minutes of running....leaking continues..oil totally contaminated with antifreeze.
Gotta be a cracked block....I think. So, I'm concluding its really not worth going any further on this.
I'm thinking to selling some of the parts...carburetor is new for example and just junking the tractor.
What do you all think of my new plan?
And again, thanks for all your help in doing the above work...you guy are a good bunch.
Scott
