Hello from Australia,
We have recently purchased a Deutz 7206 that has been badly looked after. I am restoring this to be a working tractor for our farm.
The engine had 2 leaking cylinder head gaskets - leaking combustion pressure- and I have removed the cylinder heads to replace the gaskets. When I inspect the sealing surface I believe it will be hard for this to seal properly.
I have lapped (ground) the head to the barrel with grinding paste to make a good flat surface.
On other engines I have repaired the head gasket is always a compressing copper composite that will deform and make very good contact with the barrel and the cylinder head.
Can I expect this simple flat steel gasket to seal well?
Is the cylinder head gasket a weak point on these engines?
Can I use a thin copper wire between the gasket and the cylinder head to make a good seal?
Fun fact: It has been over 40 degrees on some days when I try to work on the tractor. I cannot wait for winter.
