head gasket

hi there...

i have just done one of these head gaskets, actually it was for the glow plugs being stuck in the head. looking at the date you should have done it by now, but if you have not then its a big task if you have not removed a head before. The main problem is the timing chain, you must mark this up correctly and ensure you remove the vacumm pump to expose the fuel pump and mark this up too as it will cause you a lot of problems if you don't. Also the chain is supposed to be unlinked as the chain guide is a nightmare to remove because you require a pull hamer to remove the locating pins for the guide. good luck
