Hello, I overhauled this C late last fall. It runs great, I plowed snow and now want it to rake hay. When I installed the new sleeves I noticed that they all were taller than the original, in the height exposed on the block. I mic'd them and they all ran from .011 to .0125" in height protruding. My manual recommends .003-.007" I put it together anyway thinking that thick ol head gasket would seal. I sprayed copper gasket to both sides , twice. Now this spring while changing the oil I noticed about 4 oz. of coolant in the oil. After raking 10 acres of hay I drained aprox 12 oz. of coolant out of the oil.I retorqued the head bolts to 70#. Now I drain at least 6-10 oz. of coolant out of the oil every morning with it just sitting. Should I pull the head and machine the tops of the sleeves? Do they make a different head gasket to help this? Or does anyone know of a magic elixir to add to the radiator that might seal this. Thank you for reading such a long post and I hope to gather some pearls of wisdom.
