Default Re: Leaking head gasket

Rebuild a 504 diesel tractor torqued everything to spec's and I tea rebuild a 504 diesel tractor torqued everything to spec's in IT manual and the water was running out of the head had me stumped because this was not my first rodeo! I took tat motor apart and put it back together while I was sleeping that night. I wish I could tell you that I had figured out the problem when I woke up but no! I was prepared to spend the day taking it apart when it dawned on me to google the torque specs. Google showed 35 ft.lbs tighter problem solved. Recheck IT manual they had gas and diesel the same. Do not panic put some Aluma seal in it bring it up to temperature let it cool and re-torque
