SOHC Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 I am getting oil round here, it could be coming down the head bolt hole from a bad head but it could be coming from a split bore on the right hand side between the valves and cylinder as its open in there to the other side. The head bolt holes are open to the air on the bottom 3 fins down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Ive got some Devcon putty if you want to try it.... its impressive shit! If you can find the hole that is. Was joking about the Stop Leak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostchips Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Did i tell you how i can a car with stripped headbolts with compression coming out the rear of #4 cylinder? 'Oil' would drip out the back where it was losing compression but it went fine for years. Finally fixed it properly. You might find it runs well with that leak for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 I am just fucked off as i spent about $700 on that motor, everything inside is brand new. I am going to put some Permex thread sealer on that headbolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Well things are looking up, I took the head off tonight and I couldn't see any cracks but oil was coming down the bolt hole, after inspecting the head gasket I can see the problem, if you look at the wrinkles in the fire ring the gas was escaping through there and then down that little perforated hole and through the fiber and slowly boring the hole bigger and because that cylinder head bolt hole is open on the other end it was dripping out. I need to find a less shitty new gasket, 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Looking at gaskets they all seem to be shitty like that or even worse with no fire ring, an old Kohler tec sed I should give it a light smear with red high temp silicon and put permex thread sealer on the head bolts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Thinking of moving this on, I can sell with out this engine and chuck in a cople others that need work, one is a bigger 16 HP that needs the end of the crank drilled and tapped, has a good rod and piston, other engine is a 10 witch is identical to the 16 hp just with a smaller bore, and crank, this engine has a stuck exhaust valve I have a good used valve and a brand new rod. I am getting another project and need the space, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 I have listed this on trademe, got a new head gasket coming, I will sell this minus the engine for $250, it will take any engine with a 1" shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took that off, I want to keep it, they are easy enough to make, get a BOSH alternator I think 100 to 150 amps and bypass the regulator, the negative is the earth and the + positive witch would go to the battery is to the electrode, the armature + runs through a switch to turn it off and on like the ignition use to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SOHC Posted September 21, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2018 So Now I have this thing, it has hydraulics, PTO, and diff steering, it has 2 fuel tanks and a carb that will run the engine on petrol or kerosene, engine is 630cc 17 HP, It has 0nly 255 hours on the clock and is in very good condition, the only problems are it got water down the exhaust witch seized the exhaust valve and filled the cylinder with the inside of that Coby muffler, bore only has marks where the rings sat at the bottom of the stroke and I just gave it a hone with sandpaper, I had to replace the main bearings as they had water marks, other than that it just had light rust witch wiped off, crank journals are mint. exhaust valve had a slight bend so I have straightened that and valve seats and valves are away getting ground. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igor Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Sweet tractor. Does it start on petrol then you switch over to kero after it warms up? When was the last time you saw a kero pump on a servo forecourt? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
