I am starting work on a JD FD620D-ES01. Customer had brought a pair head gaskets because appears to have blown head gasket. Well he installed one and it is still having compression gas entering the coolant. It actually bubbling while the engine is running.
Yesterday he brought me the other head head gasket thinking he was going save the money on me buying new ones. Well the head gasket had been installed and other damage too. It appears the RipBay vendor sold him a pair of takeoffs. It is a shame that the customer paid for new gaskets but got these installed gaskets instead. I have ordered a pair plus intakes through my supplier for nearly same cost and I know they will be new and never mounted.
I can't reuse the gaskets due to I have a less than .002 warpage factor. This something I have got to yet as measurements plus I am awaiting a Mangaflux kit to check the heads for cracks. The warpage is something I am worried about as the customer didn't the service manual head removal procedure. I sure hope he didn't warp the head(s).
