So I got the tractor split and the engine on the stand in the shop. Found a couple of pleasant surprises. Somebody has done a rebuild and bored the cylinders for the cast iron sleeves. Also done the adjustable lifters. Found the head gasket was leaking and all valves, both intake and exhaust were covered in thick carbon. Probably not seating very well. I haven't put a mic on the cylinders but there is absolutely no ring ridge. Those are the pleasant surprises. Cleaning up the oil pan today and found this. Doesn't look like its been leaking, saw no oil on the outside. Just concerned about the crack growing and giving me problems down the road. Any suggestions on how to repair this? Thanks in advance.
