Hi guys. I got all the seals and axle bearings done with my 1850. Thanks for the advice on just replacing the injector line with a used one. That worked great. I was running it up and down the gravel road today to make sure everything I repaired seemed right. I noticed what seemed to be oil leaking at the head gasket. I cleaned everything up real good to make sure it wasn?t the valve cover gasket or manifolds. It appears to be leaking at the head gasket. It smelled like oil to me. I almost slowed to a stop once the motor warmed up as far as it could at a high of zero. My question is how could oil be at the head gasket. Would retorquing the head be of any help. Am I looking at putting in a new head gasket. This motor was majored before I got it by a former Oliver implement dealer mechanic. I know who he is and does great work. I just got it this fall and only used it for pulling gravity boxes. I hasn?t really done much work since the overhaul, but that was done 10 years ago. What do you guys recommend I do from here. It?s weird that it pretty much stopped once I ran it for a while. I appreciate your advice. Thanks Jeremy
