Thanks Borrowed that kit from a Mate. Got another bloody problem now though, Some of the nuts on timing case have rounded off, Tried everything to loose them off, left them with penetrating oil over night, Heat, and even those Irwin bolt extractors, but they are to small to get a grip on as they are only 10mil bolts, made one worse after loosing my temper so god knows how Im going to get that one out. Any Ideas ?
Also got engine out today, Do I need the fly wheel and casing off to fit to Engine Stand or will it go on as it is ?
Thanks Everyone for help and advice.

I would grind the bolt heads off, remove the timing cover, strip that down and then remove the timing chest which could be fun! then you have full access to remains of the bolts, the worst three are normally the ones around the water gallery (top right in first pic), all the timing cover bolts are M8, the bolt heads are weird 10mm is to loose and 3/8 is to tight.
Better to remove flywheel housing to fit onto engine stand.

I wonder what that blanking bung in the flywheel housing is for in the 3rd picture?

Yes I was wondering about that bung too.
 
CharlesY knew his engines and how to loosen bolts, That plug is similar position to the 2286 but without the inspection cover , do you have one at btm as the 200tdi should, wonder if it’s a hybrid or off another engine, see if it lines up when engine at TDC a or EP with slot in flywheel
There is codes on the block and head which tell you the casting date
What does btm flywheel housing loook like has it had the mod recommended by glencoyne drilling extra bolt holes
For fixing to stand I got long 10mm bolts from screwfix and extra nuts into block

Some of them have them for timing, I think they line up with the "wrong" slot in the flywheel. Ours doesn't have it, maybe the earlier engines have it?
Pretty sure it's on one of TrailerFitters 200tdi videos.
 
Been thinking about them bolts.
Maybe hammer a m10 or m12 nut over the bolt head, then weld nut to bolt head, gives you more meat to play with.

The bolts are only m10 I think and dont think they go in to the housing very far, got flywheel and housing off ready to try but a Bit worried if 4 bolts will hold it on stand, I know its been done before as have seen pics of them on. Do you have any pics of which holes you used when yo done it Mate ?
Thanks
