just back from machine shop brought other head out to him ,this is off a
standerd dexta after a quick look he said this one seemed a lot better shape than
other one, this one is off a 58 the last one is a 63, if this is good after testing
well an good if not iwill talk to bertie dunlop about a new head, ihave been up to
his place over the years for odds and ends, as you say is he knowes his stuff.

got head back and installed on tractor , fired her up an bingo she started up
first dig , so now what was the problem , diddnt touch timming or pump
or injectors, must have been the head all along. before i done head up she was driving
fine except for black smoke intermittley at idle but when got her into shed and started to check
all usual ,fuel system ,timming ,injectors .fuel pump was all ok she would not even fire up with a blow lamp in the
air manifold . head had crack although was not mixing oil and water and valves were very bad
so must have been head all along hope this may help others
