Further Saga.
Managed to get the down pipe of and got to the head.
Head bolts were so tight i cracked an ext and a socket.
But further to that, whilst taking off the rocker shaft a bolt snapped off. Didn't even turn before it snapped.
SO against my better judgement my father in law talked me in to drilling it and getting a tungsten screw extractor.
That snapped inside the bolt.
Some hammering, and drilling later and i now have a messed up bolt still stuck in the head with a tungsten carbide centre that eats my drills for tea.
Any suggestions??
I plan to take it to a machining shop tomorrow but if they can't do anything with it does anyone have a spare 200tdi head they want to sell?
I can purchase or swap/ p/x for a truck cab roof back and all fittings or a ifor williams back.
Wish id not started now!!
