Bought a 560 Diesel about a month ago. My first "project tractor". I knew the cylinder head gasket was leaking oil and compression, and it appeared to have oil in the water. Tonight me and a buddy started tearing into it. We quickly realized that it was coming apart way too easy. Fresh Never-Seeze on the manifold hardware, clean gasket surfaces, glow plugs and injectors came right out, ect. This one was just apart. First strange thing- it has three old-style injectors and three late-style style injectors. What do you guys think about that? Lifted the head off, and right away noticed #2 sleeve is cracked bottom to top and right over the flange. That would explain the compression leak, but why exactly do they crack? Think I remember somthing about the cylinder walls getting out of round. Also, the pistons are mis-matched. Two are IH, the rest are a different brand. Think someone pieced this one together.
