200 tdi head swap

(1/3) > >>

burgerman:
 Hi all, have offered to help a mate, to swap the head over on his disco 200 tdi, i am reasonably good mechanicly, but must admit never swapped  a head over on one of these before, any tips/pitfalls ?? special tools ?? and the million dollear question ---- how long should it take  :lol:

dave_2A_2.25Turbo:
First time took me a leisurely 4 hrs.  Only about 4 spanners, 4 sockets, torque wrench & feeler gauge required.

chris9119:
4-hours seems about right, but there's probably someone who can do it quicker........!!

Make sure that all the surfaces have been cleaned and don't skimp on the replacement service parts...., gaskets, bolts, etc.

You mention bolts ? are you refering to head bolts ??

extreme90:
yer head bolts
they shouldnt be re-used any more than 3 times#
i personally replace them on every cyl head i do, as theres always the possability that ones going to break, thus making the job longer than intended
