Very likely I got a head gasket blow out on the Perkins 175.

Any advice on how one goes about replacing it? Friend and I going to tackle it.

Thanks

Tom

Dad had a MF 180 with that same engine. He did a head gasket in it years and years ago. I dont ever remember him saying it was a big issue...I know he did it himself with no special tools other than a torque wrench
