So a mate of mine had his headgasket go on his 200tdi. He had the head pressure tested and skimmed and which came back good. Fitted the new gasket and when he ran it it was lumpy and basically ****ty. He got a mate from a garage to come around and after some messing about they removed the head again and found some sort of metal and a cracked piston. I brought the engine off him cheap and he's put another in. Ive picked the head up and after a little clean around the valves of piston number 2 I wonder if it's alright to use. I plan on replacing the cracked piston or all if the bores turn out to be too worn however I did see the bores when he was doing the head and the original honing marks were still very visible.
Regarding the washer I have no idea how that got in there. I think I posted a thread up a while ago mentioning it and a valve cap was mentioned could have possibly got in.
