Last year i overheated my D90 300Tdi due to a water pump leak and had to have the head skimmed and despite valve clearances being correct it sounds like a typical tappets noise. I am told that the piston arm shims or bushings are probably stretched and need replacing. I did the work on the head last year.
Question: How much harder is is for me to go in and either change the pistons and/or the big and small end bushes/shims. I have been quoted £650 from an independent LR mechanic. If i do it myself, what kit and parts do i need? Can i do the work from below so i don't have to take the head off again?
I'd really appreciate advise on this as business is not great at the mo and i can't really shell out to have it done for me.
