Re: JD450C third head gasket This is getting old
A suggestion - if you haven’t pre- lubed engine( forced oil into oil gallery with external pump and oil container, ) maybe roll engine in short bursts - 10 to 15 seconds ea, to get oil into complete internal parts of engine before engine starts, watch engine oil pressure gauge , it should start to r...

Re: Needing head gasket wisdom
Don’t forget to have cyl head rebuilt( by a good rebuilder/shop) and check it for cracks first

440 ic diesel
I have found a running wreck of a 440 ic but a diesel, the one I have is a gas, 1958 by serial #, is the engine clutch the same- gas or diesel? Trans- or is all diesels 5 spd? Are any of the drive line parts heavy- duty, because of the diesel- S. clutches or brakes and finals?

Re: New OS piston clearance
I guess that is one therory of why cyl walls are honed. I don’t have bad results, because I don’t hone. As I stated, I remove top ring ridge ( to get piston out ) and if walls are relatively ok, install new rings etc and go. No oil burning or blow by. ( I have rebuilt many, both gas and diesel, line...

What is casting number for this later head? Will a 420-430 cyl head with different casting number than mi...

Re: broken bolt 440 steering clutch collar
I don’t know of any other way to repair that broken bolt. That is why I always put grade 8 bolts, and use neverseize upon assembly, of any bolted together piece. Grade 5 twist off to easy. Good luck!
