Somethings wrong, 200TDi PLEASE

<< < (5/5)

Well, I managed to get the head off today, and all looked OK (to me anyway) apart from what I thought was oil on the top of #3 piston (have since been told this could be unburnt diesel, I will check tomorrow) I have taken it to IB Engineering in Nuneaton, they did a pressure test on the valves and one of them was leaking, Mark at IB took the valve out and there was a piece missing from the underside of th valve where is seats on to the head, he checked the headgasket that was on there which he could tell had blown across but only a very little bit and it looked like on the block side, but nothing to be of major concern.

There is 2 tiny cracks running to a couple of the glowplugs, but as the engine uses no water he said it should be OK, he is going to skim the head a fraction so we know its flat and replace the valve.

I hope this is the end of my troubles, for now  :-#

I am going to fit the head back on tomorrow, but wanted to check if this is correct for ajusting the tappets / rocker arms.

rotate crank until #2 valve is closed, then ajust valve #1 & #8
rotate crank until #3 valve is closed, then ajust #2 & #7

And so on

feeler gauge spacing is 0.20mm on all rocker arms? 200TDi

trecfive:
The simple way to adjust the valves is to add up to nine. When valve number one is fully down adjust valve number eight and so on, they will not go down in numerical order.

zulublue:
Well that was simple, Cheers.
