I recently acquired a farmall C and it blew a head gasket. It started puffing exhaust out the side between the block and the head. Before this however, when I changed the oil for the first time I noticed coolant in the engine oil.I started to drain the coolant but no coolant would come out. I only can get a little oily sludge on the end of a wire I stuck up the drain tube in attemping to unplug it. I took off the head anyway and after I cleaned up my mess I noticed a break in the gasket around one of the head bolts. I see no way that coolant could get into the oil with where this break was. I have two main questions. What is the best way to deal with a sludge plugged coolant system,and what is the most important things to do to prep the head, and all components to put it all back together.I never did this before and also do not know what other problems could exhist that could allow coolant into the oil. The tractor still ran great when I decided it should not be ran any longer. Someone's help would sure be great!
Thanks, Greg Ziegler
