Heads Off

[scourslane]

Hi,

Glow plug tip snapped off inside, so the heads gotta come off.

Questions are whats it worth replacing whilst the heads off

ie: head gasket

any seals etc please

thanks

New head gasket is a must. Also new head bolts. Might as well throw on a rocker cover gasket too.

could do the valve stem seals

Hi,

Glow plug tip snapped off inside, so the heads gotta come off.

Remove with magnet or claw pick up tool.

There's a few types out there

piston rings??

So your determined to take the head off over a glow plug tip.

Unless you mean the plug its self has snapped off in the thread ?

Ok have fun


"piston rings"

Ok with rings goes a
re-bore
with that a
crank grind
with that a set of
main bearings
might as well do the
DMF
then the top end
Valve seals
also the
Hydraulic tappets
dont forget the
head gasket set
including new
head bolts

I left a load of other stuff off that's probably ok to clean up
inlet manifold
and
EGR
dont forget the
water pump
and
timing belt kit
you will need.
Anti freeze
erm
Oil
and
Oil filter


Sure you don't want to fish it out with a magnet ??

Just some fun hope you see it also

any simpler way of getting it out!????

Ok you mean whats left stuck in the cylinder head not dropped inside the cylinder ?

[stevoxsi]

If you take the head off all you actually NEED to do is a new head gasket and bolts. Oh and coolant coz its drained, might as well change it. No point in trying to reuse.

Have a search their will be local company's who specialise in removal with out taking head off and also for a fraction of the cost
