This video may save my tractor. I have a water leak that all attempts to plug have failed. While watching your video, the water is coming from the same place your leak was. In the next couple of weeks, I will be tearing down my Massey 165 from the top to determine if I have a head gasket problem or a cracked head issue. It will be my first major tractor fix since buying this 20 years ago. I expect your video will help me through it and hopefully end up with only a gasket repair as yours was. I will report back but I wanted to say thank you for putting this out there - it gives me hope for a good result. Thank you

My go to video as I had the exact same head gasket blow out between cylinders 3-4 on my Massey 165. Great advice on cleaning the stud threads as I had 4 stud holes blocked with carbon around 2 cylinders from a previous rebuild that made lifting the head off a 4 hour headache.

@steveadams40092 жыл бұрын
You should probably change the stud that the nut was cross-threaded on. When changing out a head for any reason it's always a good idea to actually replace your head bolts or studs since they have already been stretched and barring that the next best thing is to run a thread chaser "tap or die" to make sure your threads are clean and you can torque them down evenly.
@vincentshelpfulhints40852 жыл бұрын
Great job, I figured the valve adjustment only being 2 or 3 thousands of an inch off is not going to make that big of a difference Glad you kept going to find the problem, To me it looked like the head gasket was melted perhaps someone in the past ran out of coolant

What color is the smoke? Blue is burning engine oil, black is over-fueling, and gray/white is often a dirty/stuck injector, although it yours is down on power, check the coolant level to see if there's a blown head gasket causing coolant to leak into the cylinder

The 4.203 seen here was a much smoother running and torquey engine than the later 4.212. I think the Coventry built ones changed from 203 to 212 around 1968 if not sooner.

@hedydd23 жыл бұрын
@@WaldosWorld The 212 has the exhaust on the right and is a short stroke version of the 236, which is the most common variant. None of the 212 have balancer units as far as I know. The 248 is a slightly wider bore variant of the 236. Both 236 and 248 had the option of balancers, fitted to higher revving applications like combines it was standard. Later balancers became standard on tractors as well and the 212 was dropped and never used in the 500 series as far as I know. I think that the 203 was dropped from the MF line when the 212 took over. Before then it was also fitted to some UK built International tractors due to a shortage of their own engines.

@WaldosWorld Жыл бұрын
I don't know exactly what the compression should be, but if you have to use ether, then the compression is low. A rebuild is probably in order, but luckily these old diesels are relatively simple to rebuild. The hardest part is pressing in the new cylinder linings, but you can stick the linings in the freezer overnight and then carefully hammer them in

As long as the neutral safety switch hasn’t been bypassed it’s ok to crank it standing on the ground when using the key. The neutral safety switch won’t allow for the tractor to crank with the key unless the high / low range selector shift is in the neutral position. It won’t crank in gear with the key even with a bad neutral safety switch. Outside of pulling the tractor off, which doesn’t apply in this situation here. A bypassed ( jumped ) neutral safety switch or jumping the starter terminals with a screwdriver are the only 2 ways in will crank while being in gear !! Yet regardless of that, it’s still always best to crank something from the seat if you’re able too !!!
