Head gasket seepage on M670 super

Alan K · Nov 5, 2012

I noticed some antifreeze seepage by the head gasket in between the blocks on my M670 Super gas. (Yes did look towards frost plugs first). Would retorquing the heads stop the seepage? The tractor was overhauled about 12 years ago and Ive had it for about 4. This is the first year I noticed the leak. My M5 did the same thing this spring but only once or twice and not since. Some of that was on the outer edges of the head and block. Is this a common occurance with them?

You still making those rings for me Alan? I never hear back from you!

Mr. Meyer....my apologies, thought about it last night that I need to get them done for you. It has been a very rushed fall here. Just finished up cleaning barn and hauling manure at my cousins. (had two large piles to go through..) Will try and get them done this week for you. Thank you.

I really doubt that re-torquing the heads will do any good. You get one shot at a head gasket and after years of running the heads and gaskets are going to be where their going to be. I believe I'd live with it until such time as I was going to replace the gaskets and have the decks and heads checked for flat.
