I took the head (Which i'd bought a few years back and had sat on the shelf in the garage waiting for a Td5 rebuild, and was assured was AOK
 ) to be skimmed & pressure tested, as the coolant system kept getting pressurised.
I popped down to the machine shop today, there is a crack between the injector and glowplug hole on cyl #2, and a (major) crack on the valve guide outer bit... the pressure tested it (prior to skimming) and apparently it bubbled like a bubbly thing. Still, answers my question as to what was up with it. They did have a 15P head in there that had just been checked and was fine. but I don't think they're interchangeable. |

For sure it does.
Ah well, such is life. annoying as I've been offered a kind of swap/PX for a G-W for it.... but obviously it would need to be working first  |

Hello Jim,
I have one which I took off mine because I was using water. I don't think there is such thing as a good TD5 head even the later ones seem to have problems. I fitted an AMC head, very good quality and has improved on the known issues but they are not cheap. If you get a good? Used head I can recommend you send it to spaceseal, we use this at work on some very high performance engine castings when they are porous. I will eventually clean my old one up seal it and rebuild it and put it up for sale, are you in a rush? Steve  |

Cheers for the tip Steve.
I'd like to find one in the next week or 2, mainly to get the 90 running again (although I could nail the old head back on just to start it up and drive it about a bit)
Don't think I have James, no. |
