1946 CASE VAI Head Gasket
In car engines I have heard that putting ATF into the pistons and letting them sit for a while could help loosen the rings back up, is this something that would be worth trying? Or if it is stuck rings should I just rely on a few heat cycles to free them up? Also just to confirm my...- Betta7776

If water was leaking in would it show with a lower level of water in the radiator? Or is the amount probably too small to be noticeable by fluid level? The radiator has been full since I got the tractor with no sign of it being any lower now.- Betta7776

1946 CASE VAI Head Gasket
I have one that I use for my car, is it the same mentality where the PSI reading doesnt matter as much as having all of them close to the same reading? Or what reading would be considered "Bad"?- Betta7776

1946 CASE VAI Head Gasket
Financing the repairs on this tractor is something that I am going to need to be extremely careful about, and am trying to just focus on one thing at a time.

1946 CASE VAI Head Gasket
I have a 1946 CASE VAI that has started spewing blue smoke ever since I did an oil change on it (was not getting any oil pressure before oil change). The oil itself looked awful when I pulled the plug, and is what I assume would be considered "Milky". With this in mind I assume I will need a new...- Betta7776
