Hi all, another td5 head question!
My cooling system was pressurizing on my disco 2 year 2000.
thinking it is the head gasket and it prob was, i removed the head.
on removing, one dowel had snapped and the other was bent. after cleaning off the matting face of the head. i discovered that rings were worn into the surface of the head, around the edge of the gasket area at the top of the cylinders on the head.(if that makes sence).
1.first off im thinking oh crap thats a new head.it would need to be skimed to far into the surface to remove these depressions. so will i need a new head?
2. if i get a new head and as my vin 1A296131 people say i cannot use metal dowels...... why not??????????? if i put those crappy plastic ones out of a lego kit, its going to happen again!!!!
ill try to post a pic of the wear
Many thanks for your thoughts
