Hello! We have a 135 that showed up at our shop. The customer complaint is coolant leak. When running for 5 minutes at high idle, coolant begins to seep out from between the cyl. head and the top deck of the block. The tractor was at another repair shop one year ago. We were told that the previous repair shop resurfaced the cyl. head & reinstalled. Possible cause of current leak?
1. Improper torque of cyl head bolts or nuts on studs?
2. Incorrect head gasket installed?
3. Reused stretched studs? (I don't think these are torque to yield studs/bolts....anyone?)
4. Crack in cyl. head (not sure if head was magnaflux inspected at previous repair shop).
Feel free to chime in =).
