Dear fans of Allis .. Please what are your thoughts on this new
development . I had the head milled flat , new gasket and reassembled Your last advice saved the day ad I was up and
running I checked the oil a few times over the first 3 days ..looked
perfect but when checking the oil a week later it was very cloudy again .I
drained the oil pan and out rushed a quart of clear water and then 4 qts of
cloudy oil.
Should I re-torque the head bolts ..the
tractor manual I have on the D10 didnt mention it but but a car
mechanic did. If I need to , do I back them off a little in the
reverse sequence and then take them up to specs in the assembly
sequence. I also used a modern composite gasket and was told to put
it on dry , no sealer. Though the manual said lather it on and then
lastly I reused the head bolts . I drained the pan dry left the plug
out , filled the radiator, put a clean bucket under it and no water is
leaking into the pan after 3 days of just sitting . where did I go
wrong . All the best to you and my many thanks ; Albert

that is a small leak. I have used BARS 1109 Copper Block Sealer for small problems withe gaskets, radiator, o-0rings on liners, etc... A 18 oz bottle cost about $10. ... You can use half of it and should solve your problem. It mixes with the antifreeze, no need to drain...
Dont get the pellets, the black gooie crap or silver flakes.... This is the right stuff.  ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Thanks Steve I'll give it a shot tomorrow . It sure beats lifting off the head again and lining up the push rods have you heard if it's necessary to retorque the head bolts after a few outings Thanks again for stepping in with such a quick and simple solution . All the best Albert |

I have SAVED 3-4 different tractors for $8. that had a "LEAK" problem.. Just last week my sickle mower B had 2 quarts of antifreeze in the oil.. I pulled the valve cover to see if the freeze plugs were OK... no problem there , so its the head gasket or o-rings on the liners.. The BARS works GREAT on those areas ! ... still got 1/2 bottle left for next time. And i did check the head bolt torque with the cover off.. Everything was TIGHT, so i dont really know what happened. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |
