hi there, can anyone tell me if i can use a 300tdi head on a 200tdi block pls
I am new in this landy-world and learning quick, but I see and find that the piston domes/chambers and injection centers are offset differently in the 200-300tdi so I assume a piston change is necessary for good performance. I also read elsewhere that a skimmed/lowered head will cause piston/injector clearance problems.
This information is not from direct experience but seems pretty logical and reasonable. I welcome any correcting comments to my assumptions. My 200 may have a gasket problem but I suspect some wear in valve guides as well so I am researching my options as it seems easier to find a completely rebuilt 300 head than a used 200, and may be even cheaper. Unless the pistons/rings are also getting tired I don;t see this as a good modification. The more I have read the more I like the 200.
are you sure new are widely available,they had stopped buildung themer no
rebuild the 200 head,plenty about .you can get new for around 350...

If it worked in 2013, I don't see why it wouldn't work now.For info.......It does fit with the 300tdi injector pipes etc. I did this and kept the pistons as is. Works fine. Here's the video of first start up.
