Looks like I will be needing a head gasket for a starting engine. Opened drain cock and quite a bit of coolant came out. Has been suspect for quite a while.
Is 6F4201 still a good number for a head gasket. thanks WF
You could check in same the head and block hole coolant circulation could be pluged or crak head
Hi WF, I have 488-8155 as an alternative (I think - it's in the right column in my spreadsheet as the successor to 6F4201)
Hi WF,
maybe Chapter 19 could have some.
Cheers,
Eddie B.
D2/D4 Pony motor head gaskets are still available from Caterpillar. I purchased a set last year.
D5C, D4-7U, D2-5U, D2-5J
Thanks for updated number will get busy. Chapter 19 don't list these as still available from Cat.
Hi WF. Those gaskets are normally copper. If there is no obvious damage to it they can be anealled by heating then quenching. Might be worth a try. The water ports at the bottom are normally blocked aswell. Good luck, keep us posted on what you find.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
