Well after doing allot of research I decided to actually re-torque the head, going in the original sequence, breaking each one loose about a quarter turn then back to the original torque, I was shocked at how much farther each bolt went, about one flat. (1/6 turn) each I guess time will tell if...

I cannot find any reason this would have overheated, the fan switch and fan circuit are working fine. The radiator looks fine. I think they had a bad fan relay originally and cracked the head after chasing the problem. Then they installed an aftermarket head and gaskets that lasted two years, I...

Ah a fellow B7100 owner, I have had a B7100D for 32 years, a little rough on the outside but runs like a charm, a new seat every 5-10 years and she still works for me on a regular basis.

When the manual say to "re-torque" the head after 30 min. do they mean to confirm torque or actually back the bolts off which would be the literal translation of "re-torque" And I assume they mean cold yes?

The deck has no warpage that I can find neither does the head. I am going to take the head to my machinist and have him give it a once over and put it back together with factory gaskets, the head was bought as a kit so it likely had aftermarket gaskets.

What is the max deck warpage? I cannot find that spec.

Any reputable sources?

Do you have an image of this mark?

So nobody has any idea how to ID an aftermarket head? That make me real confident when I head down to the local dealer and lay down $1600 for a head he can get in 4 days for $300 off of ebay, no incentive to cheat there....

As hard as I tried not to I have relented to repairing my sisters RTV1140. (D1105) It has had a constant history of overheating and even though it has a gauge that does not "save" it.... It obviously has a combustion/cooling system leak but fortunately no water in the oil at this point so it...

My wife pulled up to the house on our B7100 the other day and said the PTO had quit turning, it was obvious there was a serious issue as the PTO shaft was pulling out of the housing, as it turns out the bolt on the end (front) that holds the shaft "together" had dropped of into the transmission...

Has anyone used the parts from Kumar Bros. (India) any comments??
