I had some overhaul my engine. Bought an overhaul kit injectors. Repaired the injection pump, had the heads and valves worked, and had the deck resurfaced. They fellow who put the engine together and twice it blew the head gasket. I'm getting the tractor back tomorrow and want to either find a new mechanic or try fixing it myself. My neighbor thought the valves or timing could be so off it may blow he gasket but other than that he didn't think that gasket should have blown under no load. What would you do first or what could cause this? The first time I thought he had the sleeves too high but the next time I saw a picture and the sleeves were much lower. They could still be too high but I'll know more when I pull the head. Ps, anybody who really knows their stuff near the Louisville Ky area who wants a side job, I'd pay good money to get this finished. I have restored the tractor. Looks great. Just need the engine going. Thanks for your help. Scott
