G,
I noticed that in a question raised by poppin 60 below that you suggested replacing the studs and bolts that connect the head to the block of the engine. Should Head bolts be replaced on all engines during the rebuilding process. The reason being I rebuilt my 4020G 3 years ago. I had the head sent off for to be rebuilt, and the machinist assured me that it was true{not warped in anyway}. I used copper sealer spray on the block, layed down the head casket,and spayed the gasket, dropped the head down, and bolted it down as directed by the service manual torque specs. I noticed it had some seepage, and even replaced the head gasket with a new one, repeating the process. Still to this day if you use the tractor all day, especially when pulling in silage wagons, that requires alot of full throttle useage, there is some seepage down the side of the block, not alot, but it will make a little streek 1/3 the way down the block. Should I have replaced the head bolts when I did my rebuild? If I replaced them, do you think my seepage would subside? Just courious the tractor runs perfect, but I plan on painting it this year, and I feel it would be a cosmetic advantage not to try to fix this situation. Tell me if you think it would help. Thanks, Greg H.
