In order of probability, you have a blown head gasket, a cracked cylinder head, or a cracked block. Pray it is the first.

The ignition point gap is 0.015" and the spark plug gap is 0.025". More specs here:

Sounds like the valves might be leaking a little bit. Pull the head and do a grind and reseat and new seals and sleeves . If it's a good old 8N, go all the way with a complete overhaul kit.

head gasket needs to be replaced , ford 8n is a very good tractor and will last a long if you take good care of it

No it should come out with it on. There is nothing to unhook on the oil pan so it will stay inplace when you take the motor out.

oil pressure vavle in front of the motor is bad or the spring is weak.

Not sure, but if it's a 1954 model, it's not an 8N. 8N was only built thru 1952.
But sounds like you will need a new steering shaft.

IT helps to loosen the oil canister ahead of the starter and then begin inserting the starter with it tipped upwards and then gradally lift it as you insert it.
The hole should be oblonged out to make for easier insertion of the starter shart..
good luck.
