Well.......finally pulled the head and had it magna-flux'd. just as you guys suspected, the head is cracked! :mad:
Does anybody have a trusted source for heads?:confused:
Thanks again for your advice gentlmen. I'll be sure to pay close attention to those areas. I'd like to order some parts, I've used Messicks in the past and was very happy with the service. I'd like to send some buisiness to SERVICE DEPT. VIC. How can I place the order Vic.
Thanks for the post. The black rain I was referring to is really more of a mist but it's very obvious and messy on myself and the tractor. I wonder is if I should try to re-torque the head before getting into replacing the head gasket?
Upon start-up, the old girl is putting out white smoke and "raining" black soot! After she warms up, no soot and clear exhaust.... Any thoughts, ideas, theories? Has anyone else exper. this?
