I hate when that happens. When I get a leaker I do a couple of things. Run a tap down the block threads and inspect the head bolts to see if any are stretched or looking a little thin. Use a thick pipe thread type sealer on the head bolts and put a dab of oil on the head where each head bolt seats. Use a sealer, I have used High Tack- a couple of coats, letting it get good and sticky before installation. Torque it in several steps, letting it "take a Set" (several minutes) before going on the the next higher torque. Sometimes I'll lay a straightedge along the top of the block to see if its reasonably straight. Is the finish cut on the head smooth enough? Did a Cub a year or so ago and seem to remember a Fel Pro head Gasket in the Case IH gasket set. Hope the job turns out ok. Geoff
