Hi all,
I’ve just finished changing the head gasket on my 300tdi. I did a few jobs at the same time, new cambelt, water pump, power steering pipes etc.
I brought the head gasket (BGA) and timing belt and pulleys (new secondhand) as someone was going to do the same as me but scrapped the disco
We bolted it all together today, oil change new coolant everything back together. It started up and ran A LOT quieter which was a good sign but then bollocked all of it’s engine oil all Between the head and block at the front of the engine most of 6L I’d say.
The head has been pressure tested and reskimmed the only thing I can think is maybe a dodgy head gasket or damaged in transport. Everything was torqued to spec and done by the book and I’ve done many head gasket before and never seen anything like this
Any advice would be great!
Thanks
