Difficult to say really as the locking pin will insert fully in 3 different position on each rev of the crank/Flexiplate. Like there is three different holes. Strange. I agree I should have tried the pins before I removed the cam but would not have been any further forward really as I would...

No I did not check the timing before I removed the head. I scribed a line on the crank pulley and the cam. This should have been enough as I was not disturbing the injector pump. As for the flexiplate. can this be put on in the wrong place? " Car running fine now on my own marks so must be...

Tensioner retracted as procedure. got the engine running sounds fine but cannot get the timing marks to line up as per the procedure. With the pin in the flywheel and the timing plate for the cam that I aquired does not line up. If I install the flywheel pin and the cam plate in the...

Bit confused with the last bit CAUTION: Ensure eye of tensioner pin LRT-12-114 is vertical not horizontal. Not too sure with that bit? ?? Basically the same with the chain tension , but just marked the position on the cam when I removed it , then marked the cam in the recon head in the...

Long story really!! Cracked the head initially ( overheating ) Fitted recon head and engine not firing correctly on all 6 cylinders . puffing back through no5 inlet ( running with inlet manifld off) I know i should not really do that. So removed head again to check and found no5 exhuast...

I agree it should not be far off but there is slight marks on the top of the pistons from the inlet valves so suspect it may not be exactly right?

I have just fitted a recon cylinder head onto my range rover and was wanting to set the valve/cam timing correctly. I marked the cam etc before I removed it and the new cam is back in the same place but need o check it was correct when I removed it? Is there anything I can measure on the cam...

Stuck my analyser on it and found fault on injector valve switch. Will try and get a new one. strange thing is engine note does not change when i slacken off no5 injector like it does with all other ones. anybody got a spare no4 injector??

Should have siad the injectors were removed from my old head and were working fine before.

I have just changed my cylinder head on my 1998 2.5dse. And on starting up initially. The heater plug light comes on as it should and the injector light comes on as it normally did. the only difference is the injector light then goes off and then back on, the engine will start but sounds rough...

does anybody know if the BMW 325 diesel cylinder head is the same?? Thanks

thought about welding them up as I haave an AC tig for alloy but may be more hassle than getting another. As for if this is the problem , Not 100% sure but there is a plug for the water gallery directly above the crack and when this is removed the water gallery seems to be directly above the...

Sorry forgot about the pictures. Still looking for another head if anybody has one for sale.????

Think I have found the problem. After removing the cylinder head i have found a crack between the injector base and the centre of the valves on two cylinders. Also starting to show signs of a crack on a third cylinder. Will post photos later, suspect this is the problem so I am now looking...

As for the viscous coupling. I presume you mean removing the full fan and coupling from the water pump. If so I think it is a 32mm spanner. and you can adapt a bit of 1" angle to hold the bolts on the water pump. ( special tool or a long screw driver) ( dont recommend the screw driver as may...
