[QUOTE="Ley253, post: 3392410, member: 4681"] Were I involved, I would be pulling the liners.For the cost of some gaskets its not worth leaving them, more so as this is the second time the problem has arisen. They may have been disturbed during the previous repair.I think the running on petrol can be discounted, these engines were petrol units converted to TVO, and the conversion was far from good, left ticking over while you loaded the trailer, it would oil the plugs, stop and restart, it would be halfway to the field before it was hot enough to change from petrol! To damage the gasket, it would have to have been boiling all the time,if it was then there is another fault, blocked rad etc. The OP makes no reference to finding the compression plate and extra head gasket that should be fitted to a TVO engine, so is this a home converted petrol tractor? The head gasket sealing is suspect between cylinders 2 and 3 and poss at one end. I would expect the head to require refacing. As the gasket is still in one piece, the leakage would point to lack of clamping load from the head. However, leakage here will not result in much water in the sump! Its more likely to result in a sudden, localised rain shower on starting the tractor! [/QUOTE]
