righto guys here go's.

i've got all the symptoms leading to head hasket faliure. losing coolant, rough on start up until the suspective coolant has cleared from the cylinder etc etc...

when removing the head does it involve the engine timing? eg does it have to be locked while you remove the head? i think this is the most critical part.

not read the haynes manual yet and can't find an faq, but the old man is a diesel fitter and competent with the spanners so if it's not too much bother we'll have a crack at changing the gasket ourselves.

any help appreciated. cheers

does the manifold have to be bolted off from the head or can it be just disconnected at the down pipe to take the head off?
