Discovery heads???

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
You'll have enough fun doing the head bolt with the angle torquing thingy, so if you don't want the grief of building up the head then TBH with all the new bits included I'd say get the ready made head, you might get it done in a day.

Whilst it's all apart though you might want to clean out the plenum with a bottle brush and degreaser, I cleaned out the turbo with WD40 and all the pipes and the intercooler too, they will be black with gunk.

If i bought the built up head is it a case of just swap them over and its done?  Do i use the exsisting push rods and rocker??

cheers

Les Henson:
Yes you do, don't forget to set the tappet gaps though. I bought a new head with valves etc from Turners and you just bolt it down.

What engine is this for as i have a 200tdi head kicking about from and engine that the bottom end went on, maybe second hand is the way to go just a thought tho i guess you would probbaly want to change the valve stems seals as its out but i dont think they needed doing. 

loony landy:
Sorted , i have ordered the heads complete with new gaskets and head bolts and have a mobile landrover mechanic coming to do the work on thursday for me, that way i know its been done correct etc.

Hopefully that should sort the problem
