I think I seen somewhere on this site if tractor starts and died and if there is water bubbling in radiator this means????

I don't know the starting and dieing has anything to do with the head gasket but constant bubbles in the radiator is likely a blown head gasket.

Thanks that's what I was afraid of.

A big chain auto can rent a gauge that goes on the Radiator Cap to see what the pressure is or if it's even building up. There has been absolutely no mention of it running hot or any signs of it. Water Loss, Water In the oil. Excessive smoke! Must have just happened.

 

[bruce60]

Yeah just happened after using it for an hour.

Flush the Radiator. And see what happens. Bubbles could be a dirty Radiator. I would start there and see about checking the pressure. With no loss of water mentioned it may be the Radiators Plugged up.

OK thanks.

An old school trick is to place black pepper in the radiator. If the exhaust smells spicy, then the head gasket is blown. Black pepper is also a trick to seal small radiator leaks too without clogging cooling ports in the cooling system.

Whatever you do. never use the stop-leak radiator stuff with metal shavings. That will cause all sorts of problems.

Maybe change up your thread titles and not use the same one on everything. It gets a bit confuseing. Maybe call it "yanmar 2000 head gasket?" or something similar and the same with the other ones. give us an indication of the issue or problem in the title. It helps keep them straight. So we can be like of this is the head gasket thread from bruce or this is the oil thread from bruce.

We need a resident modd in the yanmar section so we dont have to go find someone or bug mohamed.
