Head gaskets on air cooled diesels

[huskerhayman]

Blowing out gas by itself isn't really a problem other than the mess half burnt diesel makes.
It's the damage that occurs incidentally that is the worry (cracked/burned pistons etc) which is why a dodgy head gasket needs to be addressed fairly smartly, especially with water cooled engines.
Luckily I don't need to worry about water damage other than what blows in with the latest chilly Sou' Wester (no shed. all done out of doors)

Need the tractor running to collect the material to buildl a shed :confused2:

I just meant that it should be blowing out diesel not gas. If your diesel engine is blowing out gasoline you have problems.

If it blows out petrol while I'm running it then I can run the chainsaw for free.

That would probably be the awesomest thing ever!

Mmmm, tractors and chainsaws :drool:
