Re: Cracked cylinder head 1.7 Diesel

Thanks for the replys, yeah its cracked between each set of valves and are not cracked down to the valve seats, so after reading a bit online, does seem pretty common, would you recommend having the head skimmed before sticking it back together?

Cheers, thanks for the help.

Cracked cylinder head 1.7 Diesel

Just removed my head to put a new gasket in, and noticed the head is cracked between each vale.

Does anyone know what the difference is between a 1.6 head and a 1.7? as having difficulty getting hold of a 1.7 one

Cheers.
