I know the question was asked on the previous thread, but my dad used to drill a pin hole in the bottom most portion of the exhaust manifolds on the tractors to let rainwater drain out, if it ever got in there. Even those flappers on top won't stop water. My MF1085 has one, and there's always some moisture in there if I leave it parked outdoors any length of time. With a small enough hole (3/32" or so) you'll never notice any exhaust gases coming out, or any extra noises.
I rely on a tin can over the top on my Fergie.

You don't suppose the head bolts are getting "old" and stretching a bit when the engine warms up??
I know I can stretch better after I get warmed up in my morning shower!

My old 900B cases had a hole in the bottom of exhaust manifold from factory.

It's supposed to have a hole. It was put there to let water escape. I've heard of guys using the hot gas escaping from that hole to light cigrettes.
