For the crack test was that die penertration test or a pressure test?
I should be able to drill out the glowplug no problems hopefully
Didn't think of doing the valve stem seals.
Don't do as i have done.
Have a flat battery and jump start the landrover, leave it running for 10 minutes at idle while you pack away the jump leads and then wander out of the car park and housing estate at idle.
Get to the main road and stall, discover that you have put zero charge into the battery and walk back to get the jumps leads and other car to start it again.
Ah ha Idiot rash
I made a nice little tool out of my old swivel housing
Stuck it in the band saw and cut the flange off the ball. The stuck the flange in the lathe and tidied it up. Welded a little leg on it. I hold the leg in the vice and bolt the new swivel onto the flange which allows me to work on it .
Been there done that got the t-shirt and the t-shirt is firmly stuck hence i am also needing to shout off with its head.
So rather then start a new thread i have a few questions
How do i identify which gasket i need before i remove the head as i would like to get it done this weekend so want the right gasket before i start?
Anything else worth doing while the head is off as everything works fine at the moment.
Also 100% certainty of snow while the head is off.
