head problems,gaskets and hoses.

[richg]

Hi Guys- the TXD has been consuming small amounts of coolant for a while now and then a big blow of white stuff from the exhaust occurred quite suddenly, which suggested head problems.Closer inspection revealed a mixture of coolant /diesel in No 1 cylinder so have started to take off the head.
Wondering where best to get new gaskets etc and also at least one hose has given up - the heater feed hose from the rear of the head objected to being removed after 20years ! Does anyone know the Cit Part No ?
Any words of encouragmentment gratefully received!

That hose is on ebay ATM, just search "bx hose". As for gaskets, go to your local factors or GSF rather than buying something off ebay that'll turn out to be ancient stock and bumped about in the post.

MY local Cit agent haven't been able to get heater pipes for many months now.
