farmall A head gasket

washingtonMark · Mar 7, 2010

guys,

I have a little leak of oil coming out the head gasket opposite the exhaust manafold. I removed the valve cover to find that I can not access the head bolts without taking off the rocker arm assembly. Is there a good shop manual that will aid me in this adventure? Thanks.

Just take the bolts out that hold on the rocker arms. After you replace the gasket and the rocker arms, you have to adjust the clearance between the arms and the pushrods. Clearance is 0.014 hot, set them to about 0.016 cold. First torque the head to 80 ft lbs. Run it for a while, retorque and reset the valves. The I&T manual, available at TSC, etc is ok. You can get the IH shop manual from www.external_link.
