I have read comments that the head gasket and head studs for the 4.318 were updated. I looked at the AGCO parts website and it only shows one part number for the head gasket. Does anyone know the part number for the updated head gasket? The parts list shows both head studs and head bolts, I assume the head studs are what I want?
 
The part number listed I believe is the latest one. With either studs or bolts, MAKE SURE all are re-torqued after warming engine to 190-200 degrees. I fill up the coolant and leave the fan belt off and run up to temperature using a heat gun. You can be sure the gasket will let go if the hot re-torque is not done per the Perkins manual.
 
I did some more digging, and the newest MF tractor I could find that used the 4.318 is the 698. When I look at the parts list for the 698 I find what I think is the latest head gasket and head studs. These are different part numbers than I found in the 1085 book. Perhaps the MF dealer has something that tells them about the updated part numbers. The studs are $22 each and the nuts are $17 each and I need 17 of both. That does not work for me, I am going to look for another solution.
