I looked up the IH head gasket number in the CNHI online catalog for the C 221 for the 460, the C-263 for 560, early 706 and 656, and the C-301 for the 806, they all show 164418R1 which subs to A182162 with a nice price of $275!! I have no idea if the replacement aftermarket gaskets cross to this number or not that would need to be checked out with the vendor. I know a gentleman that used to post here did not like anything but IH or Victor brand gaskets and called out the FelPro brand as junk. I personally have no opinion. In the mechanical repair part of my career I installed a lot of Victor gasket sets and really had no problems, but in my experience I can say the same for FelPro. Now this next part I am not real certain of and in your case you do not say you had the sleeves out and your picture does not seem to show new sleeves. But I am not certain but I think the sleeve protrusion only comes into play on the D-282 and other diesel variants of that engine. I am pretty sure in the gas engines the sleeve retaining lip installs into to machined relief and bottoms out so that the top of the sleeve is flush with the head surface. Now I would not take that to the bank, Pete23 would be able to answer this correctly. However, checking the sleeve height to be nearly flush is important in this case. Next did you run a tap in all the head bolt holes in the block and blow them clean. Then place a few drops of oil in each and blast it with an air blower and rag over it to disperse the lube on all the threads? I also like to buff the bolt threads on a wire wheel, this smooths out any jagged places on the thread faces that may catch under torque. In a case like yours where I have an issue I would run a bolt down in each hole just to assure there are no thread in issues. Then always lube them with clean engine oil and make sure the under side of the bolt head is lubed well where it mates to the head. I do not think it is possible but are you sure the gasket was installed with the right side up? Only way I could tell you for sure would be to see the gasket dry fit both ways. I also agree with what was said about thinking oil consumption issues will be alleviated by working the head, that is probably a false hope. Unless by chance the valve guides were so worn you could stick a number 2 pencil lead between the valve and the guide. My 2 dimes worth.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Your Tractor - by Staff. Maybe you bought it from a friend who didn't know what kind of tractor it was, or perhaps (and this is every tractor fanatics dream) you stumbled across it in an abandoned field covered with weeds but intact. In any case, you have no idea what the make and/or model is. For awhile perhaps it doesn't really matter. Especially if it runs!
