Yes definetly , I got the O rings , will try to fix my compression tester and do it laterCOMPRESSION TEST
worth checking timing that could pressurise bottom end if valves are closed at the wrong time, water could be cracked block ,head or leaking gasket or spilled in to engine from previous head job
As like take time , not an easy job
Yes, I know you did, I was asking IF he had .I did suggest he drained some water out first. Post 89.
In relation to the water, did you drain the block of water before removing the head? It's the bolt, brass I think, just below the exhaust manifold.
If you didn't, water gets into the sump when you lift the head, this may be all you are seeing and an oil and filter change will sort that out.
I must have missed the posts on the head gasket change because there were a few pointers I wanted to make before you refitted the head.
Anyway, looking forward to the compression readings.
When doing this
Disconnect the wire to the stop solenoid.
Remove ALL the glowplugs.
Have someone turn the engine over on the starter whilst you observe the readings.
10 secs of cranking will be enough BUT observe how quickly the pressure rises, a healthy cylinder will build up pressure quickly and reach around 400 psi .
Write down what you find and report back.
Removing all the glows does make the job a bit windy but gives the starter motor an easy life.
I missed that :/I did suggest he drained some water out first. Post 89.
The cylinders are all separate from each other if all is well.
ok , make sense, haha I am way passed worries now , I am crying !
I love your posts!
