Hey folks,
Shortly after I bought my tractor 6 or 7 years ago, I replaced the headgasket because it was broke between a cylinder and the water jacket. I used no sealer or dressing)
Everything was fine. FF and a main bearing siezed last year. Local guy fixed it and since he checked the rest of the thing out, he replaced the head gasket again. He sprayed both sides of the gasket and the surface of the fead and block with a copper looking stuff. It smoked pretty good and used plenty of oil the 1st few weeks but got OK. Lately I have been going thru quite a bit of coolant. No milk or foam in motor or radiator and I pulled the oil plug and there was no coolant. There is also a messy seep around 1/4 of the head or more. Could the stuff he sprayed on be the problem? Thought HG's were supposed to be replaced dry. Think retorquing would take care of it or is it best just to clean everything up and put on a new gasket dry?
