As you have told in previous posts, the only way you will know what you have is to take off the head, and have it worked. While off inspect cylinders, liners, etc. You may end up with much more than the $700 to $1000 you are quoting. It might not be a gasket, could be a crack.

Also, there are some real JD experts that only hang out on the JD board. That is where you should be posting.
