piston has to come out of the topI've just been to take the rest of the pistons out to deglaze all the bores, I can see the oil jets I was going to remove them do they just unbolt or is there extra things behind them?
Anyway I came against another problem, piston 3 and 4 came out nicely and both of those piston tops show sign of slightly hitting the valves. I couldn't get piston 1 out, no matter how many times I popped it back down the bore and tries again... It goes past the first ring and that's it so I removed the big end? Bolts and **** me they are mega tight, took the caps off and put them in order.
My question is do I need to remove the timing case off the front to remove the Crank? My plan was to drop the piston out the bottom as I'm suspecting a slightly bent con rod won't allow the piston out the top.
Anyway pictures to follow, I'm already alot deeper in than I wanted to go with this engine and I appreciate all the help and guidance with it.
I'll upload some pictures now and get them on..
Err1387 on the three pistons I can read Jamesif its std 200 tdi which you cant see from that pic of piston top, you need err1390 if x stamped on piston or err1391 if y stamped on
you can remove oil squirts but careful retightening as they snap easy you need washers too 1 of each per squirt ,afu1879l and afu1887l
Wasted my time taking the Crank stuff apart then. It won't go into the bore so it must be slightly bent... It has tx on thr top of the piston then 1387If Conrod is bent you will need to cut it with a junior hacksaw. See my thread where I had two bent Conrod running as sweet as anything now.

turners do stc1052, you just measure bottom of skirt at 90 degrees to gudgeon pin to check its the same as the rest though a 1 thou wont hurt as long as its smaller and not larger as clearance is only .5 to 1.5 thou
thrust washers they sit either side of the block casing for no 3 main bearing ,soft metal to crankOk thanks for the help again lol. Piston and Conrod 1 are out. Finally got the timing case off. One snapped bolt in the block ceased in next to the water way up top right... Right so and so to get the timing case off, tried screw extractors and everything. Gonna have to drill and tap that hole, something I'm proper ****e at!!
I'm so glad that I went to remove the other 3 pistons to glaze bust the bores otherwise I'd had just replaced piston 2 and put it back together. So I now need one con rod and one piston...
I've never done this before and keep thinking what the fek have I started here lol...
Cranks out and a couple of half moon Bronze things fell out. Some sort of spacers or something? I'm gonna bath the kids now as they have just got back from the monster in laws late and I'll post some pics up later. I think I'm gonna clean the block up and paint it up since its turned out to be a bigger job than first expected.... Typical landy!
only 2So there are only 2? Either side of number 3. Righto
Sorry James I didn't see this reply before. I was removing the timing cover to get the Crank out. I managed to get the bottom Crank sprocket off by prizing it slowly.why are you removing timing cover, theres a proper puller to remove the bottom sprocket, even so ive had ones ive had to weld m10 bolts to and use a hub puller
