[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 99836, member: 82"] One way to know if the gasket or head is gone is if there are bubbles in the radiator when running. If it is using coolant, oil in coolant, oil in oil are all signs of a cracked head or blown gasket. Sadly Kubota engines crack heads more than they blow head gaskets i'm afraid. I'd like to say that it will be fine even if it had a crack or head gasket issue, but if you run it and coolant gets into a cylinder, when you crank it next, it can hydro-lock and break your piston or con-rod. Personally, if it runs well, and there are no fluid loss, i'd not worry about it. As for the rust, it could be that coolant was not used, and just water allowing the internals to rust a little and stain the over flow tank. If you are concerned, run some engine flush in it to try and disolve the rust in the radiator/engine. [/QUOTE]
