Hi how's it going, nice little tractor thought it would make a good video to show the differences between the Dexta and the MF35 3 cylinder engine.

The combustion chambers warp around the bolt holes because the original gasket only covers the center part. When tightened down you get uneven pressure. Just replace them or file around the bolt holes and the outer edge.

Hi thank you for your comment great tip thank you I know from the past they can be a pain to seal🤬

Glad to have you onboard.👍

When we went through the head of our MF35X we were unable to make the pre chambers seal properly with the normal gaskets since you can’t get enough pressure on it all. So instead we bought copper and aluminum washers with the dimensions 33.3x38.9x2mm, that way it seals inside on the cup instead. We put copper and a new cap on one, copper and old cap on one and aluminum and new cap on one and 250 hours later they are all still tight, no mystery goo used.

Thank you for your comment I’ve had problems with them in the past thank you for your advice.
