Copper head gaskets?

70Jerrid · Sep 15, 2011

Ive herd of people having trouble with them sealing up? And where can i find one for a Jd 70 diesel.

We do them for most 2 cylinder, along with Farmall H & M's & Oliver tractors. If we do not have it scanned, just send an existing one in & we can build one to your spec's. Thanks. TLH Enterprises. 763.350.0555

I've never had a need for a copper gasket on a 2 cyl. As long as the stock gasket will fit, make sure the block and head are flat (that means surface them, not lay a straightedge on them). Make sure the studs are good.

I have not built any diesels though.

They can be hard to seal but use a good dose on both sides
of the dark brown sticky permatex. It might take a little bit of
run time but when it dries a little it will seal.

I agree make sure both surfaces are straight and studs arent stretched. I would not put one on because they do leak. I had one and it sat for awhile. Started tractor and it blew water all over garage. Use a stock one or call one of the 2 cylinder diesel gurus and see what they say. Id install a stock one and be done.btw,make sure you havea good torque wrench, it takes alot of torque
