300 TDi HEAD INFO PLEASE

<< < (2/4) > >>

thanks for the replies guys,   :thumbup:

Lurch, I know about the piston protrusion but thanks for the heads up anyway, mine is 0.65mm max which is right in the middle of the 2 hole gasket range, so I was going to use a 3 hole gasket (the thickest) on rebuild to help compensate for the skim anyway.

Saffy, do you know what the limit is on the acceptable warp? I can't find any mention of it in my Haynes manual, as above I've checked the piston protrusion and was going to use a 3 hole anyway, but I didn't know about the extra thickness save your arse gasket  :lol:, so thanks for that just in case I have to get more skimmed off the head than I expect.
                                                                  cheers, Jack.

Yes, sorry didn't detail as I was still in bed when I posted. The max is stated as 0.08mm, see the attached image I have posted for more information...

ChrisW70:
The gaskets start at one hole for thinnest increasing in thickness up to the three hole and no holes for thickest.

thanks for that Saffy, I've got 0.004" (0.1mm) on mine using straight edge and feelers (not as accurate as a D.T.I.) so I'll get it skimmed and tell them to just remove as little as poss (hopefully under 0.010") piston protrusion on mine is max 0.65mm and 3 hole gasket covers up to 0.8mm so as long as I can get away with less than 0.010" (0.25mm) skim I reckon I'll get away with the 3 hole gasket, I'll risk the extra 0.003"/0.004" if it's any more I'll chase up a 'save my arse' gasket :lol:
                                                                             cheers, Jack.

Chris, is 0 holes the thickest gasket? there's no mention of a 0 hole gasket in the haynes, if it is then I'll get one of them for rebuild, or is the 0 hole the same as the 'save your arse' one Saffy mentioned.
                                                                     cheers, Jack.

p.s. just noticed your avatar, I've got a T shirt with that exact picture and comment on it  :lol: :lol:
