Ford 1210

[Schoochie]

Just bought a Ford 1210-it’s leaking oil around the injectors-what would be the best fix for this-thank y’all

I don't know why there would be oil "around the injectors" unless it's getting past the valve cover gasket.

Thank you Harry-that’s what i thought also-but i got it in the sunshine today and when the tractor is running it’s leaking oil around the injectors-is there supposed to be a gasket around the injectors

it is most likely diesel fuel that is less volatile and more oil like as it dries out.

Thank you JC -can I stop this from happening

Is there anywhere i can get a valve cover gasket for a 1210-I’ve searched but no luck-maybe silicone would work

 

[Schoochie]

Is there a place i can get a 1210 valve cover gasket or just use silicone

It is difficult or expensive to source valve cover gasket. RTV Blue will be fine. A good portion of tractor components are put together with RTV or some silicon gasket material. My suggestion is that you clean the groove if the gasket is round compressible o-ring type or if it is just flat metal to metal. Once cleaned then you would want to put a nice thin bead of RTV and let it skin and dry out a bit, kind of less sticky to touch, then you put it together and tighten the valve cover equally by criss cross tightening the nuts. Don't tighten it too much for RTV to entirely ooze out.

Well, Happy Father's day to you and all the dads out there.

I know I took my valve cover off for rocker arm inspection. I just cannot remember if it had a flat gasket or an oring in the groove on valve cover like most Japanese cars. I could not locate it in my picture library. I know for sure that I did not change any gasket there. you might need to tighten to stop the leak. I would inspect it as you might have tear in the gasket or oring. in any case a thin layer of RTV blue only helps to seal and has no negative effect.
