A few of the valve seals were not seated and must have been moving up and down with the valves and letting oil through.

Some of that uspro gear is pretty bloody good.
DSD tools in Gravesend (also on ebay) seem good on prices.
Bought these recently 110 quid.
Named ones would be that price per socket.

Can’t see a 10mm. Must be a cheap set
plastic paint stripper wheel for a drill gets it off. I have a lathe so put the valve in that and just push the wheel onto it by hand

I used a cup brush in mini grinder
Was hoping to get the head back on and up and running this weekend.
Due to inexperience, or stupidly, I damaged the first valve stem seal so that plan went out the window!
Spent the day cleaning up intercooler pipes, intake manifold and the rest. Freed off the rocker adjusters and lock nuts and general tidying up as I seem to have used every tool I own!
Better order some more seals now.

Don’t buy the cheapest I’ve had some before and seem quite loose when pushed home
cant recall if the inlets or exhaust ones have the spring on , logic says inlet but not sure

The ones I bought are Elring and came in the top end gasket kit. They are tight to get on, had to use hammer and a socket.
Exact opposite to the ones which came off, two fell off and the rest pulled off with my hand.

Yes no problem, when I did mine was a bit worried I’d miss one or do one twice so I numbered the bolt heads and ticked each one off on sheet at the different stages
Thanks. I was going to number the bolts also to save keep going back to the manual.
Good idea with a tick list, will do that aswell.
Interesting, their website said out of stock for 200tdi heads
Sounds like they are out of stock then.
