Then another new head gasket and new head bolts.
Is there something about these Deere head bolts that after they're torqued, they're junk? I would think on that little engine those new bolts would be ok.
Head gasket failure is common on those higher horsepower JD engines. Gotta be very particular with liner protrusion and head bolt torque. Never re-use the head bolts. There's two different types of head bolts for those engines. Get the correct ones.
