Fitted other head and turbo oil supply pipe, exhaust manifolds, made my own removable spacers, nipped up all other bolts and removed Fitted crank pulley now bolts arrived (see picture of how quickly costs spiraling) spent ages cleaning oil residue from intercooler and breather pipework just...

Hi all sorry have a question, cleaning rocker/air box and noticed loose butterfly's have found these in the inlet of the cylinder head luckey it stopped before valve, other box not so bad but a weep around filler neck, question 306dt seems identical have measured and compared apart from...

Your right, answer should have been of course

These were fitted to believe it or not, a new crankshaft or was nearly new I suspect a recent rebuild crank needed just a polish and is back in another block with kings, don't hold me to this as am not sure Mains caps were not the fight they normal are Was it assembled dry and not primed crank...

Absolutely but changing oil well on time helps this too, what you guys think did this would love your opinions on a wet day, removed few days ago believed to not have done much see first shell sorry one missing but was similar condition

Managed to fit left head today, complete with new litters well oiled and in place was going to do right but had other jobs pending so ran out of time, yes the dust plugs are McDonald's sauce tubs, shame you have to cover so much of this engine up as is fantastic looking engine.

Not changing oil has big effect too

Yes mate is called calculated crush, all bearings fit in this manner, bearing of multiple layers called a sputter bearing new word I learned the other day Lol when the bearing gets enough grip on the crank they will spin regardless of notch

Spot on Kermit

Thanks mate, rebuild cost mounting though about £1500, rear seal came today fitted and shrinking as we speak, breather box first tab under seal housing and tube doesn't fit after head is on, found a piece of thick wall tubing machined at one end did the job fitting oil pump seal elring seal...

Sorry mate thought was talking about cam belt as lynall had mentioned opening up cover, but would still be extremely careful of running

No don't take belt off any of the pulleys is what is called an interference engine would be a disaster, would reccomend as lynall said remove cam cover look at cam pulleys, looking deeper with this engine is quite involved cam cover and rocker covers are about as much as you can do without...

Not sure its crank snapped but as suggested above do not run it, needs investigating, drop the oil have a look for bits, as suggested check cam pulley

Not sure it's genuine karcher but just clips on some models it seems

Will do lots of cheap versions of the same thing there is one that fits on karcher pressure washer check it out maybe ok for you all the best

Thanks mate just want something to get all those awkward places get rid of surface stuff probably only use once so don't want to spend too much

Had couple of good days but forgot couple of bits namely rear oil seal, but there's going to be a few bits I forgot I'm sure. Did piston protrusions yesterday all between 0.541-0.590 but a couple are close so going for two notch 1.17 playing it safe, ordered gaskets and bolts and water pump and...

Hi all can anyone reccomend one of those sandblasting setups that they've got on well with I just want to clean up a few areas get a good key on a chassis not doing any big areas

Same here guys have 3 D3s and a D4 which has a broken crank again not a brag, more an admission of insanity, no longer any point in having a wallet

Thanks mate kinda what I'd heard in great detail still love this motor faults and all
