I recently redid the head on my 4020 motor. The head gaskets were shot so went to do a replace and found out the head was in bad shape so put a new reman head on. THis was all done to stop an oil leak around the head gasket. All total spent about $3200. Now......I"ve got a big problem with "blow-by" of oil seemingly coming from around the exhaust manifold up towards the left front side of the engine. The local experts tell me that since we replaced the head and used all new stuff, that the rings etc. on the lower half of the motor are out of adjustment? and now are causing oil to blow by? I"ve already spent $3200.00 on this old tractor, and now they say I need to fix the lower half of the motor which will be at least another $2500.00. It's a 1969 model with 14000 hours plus. Is it worth fixing? WHat should I do? All I wanted to do was stop the oil leak...which I did...but created another one elsewhere. All advice will be appreciated.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
