Case 730 gaskets

[MarkE]

I see some sparks coming from the exhaust manifold. Does this mean that I need new exhaust gaskets and ferrules? Should I replace the intake gaskets and ferrules at the same time? If so, where to find them if my Case dealer doesn't have them? Part #'s for the intake gaskets(A 7363), intake ferrules(A21634), exhaust gaskets(A 27909), and exhaust ferrules(A21635). My usual experience at the dealer is that these original part #'s are obsolete and they have difficulty obtaining the replacement #.

Thanks, Mark

I bought a set about a year and a half ago from our local Case dealer. You probably won"t have to replace the intake ferrules as they don"t get much abuse. I think the 4 exh ferrules cost me about $65/70. Add about $50+ for the gaskets but you can find the gaskets aftermarket. Since you"ll have it apart you may want to have the manifold ports cleaned up by a machine shop so the gaskets will seal right, especially if you"ve had bad gaskets for a while. Have them take as little as possible off. I had that done for about $50ish. If you do that you may have to file the ferrules down a bit to get things to fit right. as the manifold ports will be a bit shallower and the manifold won"t fit tight to the heads then. Good luck.

Thanks so much for the advice. I have a friend who has all the equipment to skim off any imperfections on the manifolds.

have been told exhaust pipe can be cut for exhaust ferules. just need precision an correct length

That is true for the 400-700-800-900's but not the 30 series. I've made them for my 800. The 730 uses a stepped ferrule that has a different diameter on each end. To make those you'd have to have 2 different sized pipes and weld/braze them together.
