Paul223 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Looking at your head, for each of the 4 cylinders you've taken the valves out leaving two holes, then to the side of these two holes is a disc set into the head with a small square ish shaped hole that leads through to the injector, these disc shapes, take a picture of each one and post up These are your hotspots as ditch calls them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bala Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 As the boys told you, they are the hotspots, they will need renewing. but you also have a bit of head damage there, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Looks like you have had a little something jumping about in there engine talk is all well over my head mate, really really dont understand any of it, as far as im concerned now your all just talking japanese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 damage to the head looks ok...............but your "combustion chamber inserts" need changing....knock them out with a hardwood dowel...from the injector ports and leave the rollpins in...clean and put the inserts in the freezer and the head somewhere warm then tap them in with a flat wooden drift...........check my pages as i showed you how to replace them....

ditchman Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 i dont rekon that the cylinder head has ever been off before !.........what do you rekon BALA Rodp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Sent my mate the pictures of it all after I'd given it a clean and he said it needs to go off for a crack test. And skim. And he was concerned about gasket blow between the cylinders that can be seen in the pictures. And it's had a fairly new head gasket on.
