This is a MAYBE 150 HP tractor. Still has a roosa pump stock lines and larger injectors. It is a M&W charger might run 20psi. |

First off check the surface of the head and get rid of those head bolts and use studs. Use a good quality head gasket spray it with that copper tack stuff and it will hold. Done this on mine and we farm with it a good bit and have had no trouble. |

stock gasket will work fine for this.if you are having trouble,do like binderboy said,check for flatness.couldnt keet gaskets in my dads 560 gas that he farms with till i checked the head and it had kind of a twist to it.milled it flat,been running for about 10 years now with no problems |

remember - no matter what a 282 motor is a gas conversion - 14 head bolts aint enough ! You need to have head AND block flattened and use studs ! I work on IH engines all the time & some of these crappy engines wont hold a gasket for a year unless this is done !!! |

We did deck the block and resurface the head. Have about .006 sleeve protrusion. And am using ARP head studs. |

I am looking into groving and wireing the sleeves. Thinking of about .004 protrusion on a wire. Should help quite a bit |

What timing are you running ? This can also cause problems on these motors as well |

You have to run the serial number off the block and look it up.I belive for the most part the 560 ran on tdc. And the 656/706 Ran on 3 degrees. The 656 is a better head and block you dont have to use the shims and all that to get the correct liner heigth. |

Its interesting that this came up again. Since my original posts I repaired two 301 turbo diesel pullers gasket issues. I got a Iskenderian block groove tool. In the tractor I grooved the blocks, Installed wire and used a Clark copper head gasket. Along with ARP studs. Years later both tractors have not had a single issue with head gasket failure. |

It has been a long time ago. I think it was .041 wire. The head gaskets were thicker but I would have to search my records to be exact |

.041" wire? |
