Hi All

Im looking at replacing a leaking head. I have a quote fromYEM parts for a complete head with valves. What i cant find is the torque and sequence for the head bolts and rocker rail. Please help.
Also has anyone i stalled a head from YEM parts china. If so how did it perform?

The tractor had a severe overheating event. Radiator had a hole in it. Replaced the radiator and filled with new coolant. After starting and running for about 30sec coolant is pushed out the overflow tank. After turning if the engine and opening the radiator cap pressurused fluid escapes followed by gas.

On the same subject does anyone have the part number for the complete gasket kit. Im looking for the the 1 notch kit at this stage. Hopefully its just the gasket that has failed but will know more after I get the head pressure tested and inspected the engine shop.
