I have a International 544I that I am fearing might have a cracked block. The head checked out fine and replaced the head gasket but still coolant is getting into the oil and blowing out the exhaust. I am going to try and pressurize the radiator and look up threw the bottom to see if there might be a crack. I would like to know if anyone else might give me any ideas what else could be the problem. I would also like to know if a cracked block could be fixed? The engine is a C-200 sleeveless, I believe.

Secondly I would like to know if this is a problem with the exhaust/intake manifold. It is cracked juist where the second bolt is from either side. Would this pose a problem cause it seems to be very rusted and pitted and burned up around both exhaust outlets on the head and manifold. Looks as if though it is causing a problem keeping the exhaust sealed. Is this fixable and how?

When you had your head off the machine shop could have remachined the exhaust manifold surface. The same can be done with the manifold if it is not to far gone. If it is then you will have to find a good used one or a new one might be avaiable for that tractor. Did you examine the cylinder bores when you had the head off? A cracked cyinder wall should be easy to see. Pressurising the cooling system and removing the oil pan will work good, you should be able to see were the collant is coming from.

When I had the head off I really didn't check the cylinder cause I was only thinking that my problem was a cracked or warped head or blown head gasket. Then machine shop did touch up the exhaust manifold surface but it looked as if it was only done by a wire brush and not milled. Would it be alright if both surfaces were milled flat. Cause around the exhaust ports there looks to be some grooves.

i know that I worked on Ford 4000 also a sleeve less block. We took it into the machine shop and has it bored out and had a sleeve put into the bad cylinder . So i know that can be done. I dont know about the exhaust question though.
