head gaskit

[delboy1]

the head gaskit has gone on my much loved bus.
anyone in north herts area want to volunteer to do it for me.
i dont suppose i will get many\ of you kind people offering.
but its worth a try.
many thanks

I doubt it too but get your engine type and year up and somebody may be able to suggest some local mechanic who's knoledgeable.

give you one thing you got some kneck on ya kid!

[Sir Brixalot]

That's a big ask-might be more tempting if you were offering a trade. I could always pop round with my Haynes and have a go - would be good to get practice in case mine needs doing in the future!

Diesel engine?

Because on a waterboxer it's a head seal or cylinder sealing ring or cylinder o ring?

no such thing as a head gaskit or even a head gasket on a flat 4

And we still don't know what engine has a gas-kit perhaps its lpg?

[delboy1]

Its a 1.6TD JX engine 1985 T25.
Do i do it. Or get rid of it.
Only had it 12 years.
2nd owner. Cant be the last.xx

[itchyfeet]

Surely a recon should last more than 7 months
have a chat with the company you got it from and have a read about the sale of goods act

[kevtherev]

head gasket on a derv is far easier to change than the water boxer

..man up and do it

[ajsimmo]

Just don't skim the head.

Hi, its not as hard as it first looks to remove head on a jx.

I have posted this before i'm sure but it was my guidebook
