Thread: How to fit a TD5 head.... Pt1

Right then, lets put it back together. (with a couple of little extra jobs too)

Firstly drop down to the dealer, and get some more parts:



Now, remove the old exhaust manifold studs. if you havent got a set of stud extractors, you can use 2 nuts like here:



All removed:



New ones fitted:



Now swap the little bypass hose on the NS of the block:



Clean block:



Place dowels in (here is a comparison picture of the plastic(old) and steel dowels:



Now place headgasket on, and lower head into place carefully:



Now oil the threads and under the heads of the new head bolts:



Place the head bolts in gently (dont drop), and in 2 stages torque them to the manual specified settings (cant remember - will edit this later):



Now make an angle gauge and mark a socket so you can tighten the head bolts to the required angle stages. these are 90degrees, then 180 degrees, then 45 degrees.

As each stage of rotation was done I marked the head with a permenant marker so I knew which ones were done:



Once they are all tight fit and tighten the nut and bolt at the front of the head: Now lift the cam pulley onto the shaft ensureing everything is lined up as it should be:



Finger tighten the cam pulley bolts, then back them off 1/2 a turn.

Then apply loctite 242 to cam chain guide, and refit:



Then fit the cam chain tensioner and torque as required:



Now tighten the cam pulley bolts:



Now remove the locking pin for the camshaft

Now fit the vacuum hose:



Now refit the alternator bracket:



Next, fit the exhaust manifold gasket, and then the exhasut manifold, with new nuts:



Thats as far as I have got so far. carry on tonight.

Well done Pete!

Great, clean and meticulous job. Well documented also

You'd be getting more and more confident and familiar with your landy now I dare say!

On a side note, had a 2000 model 110 with 150K come in today with water consumption, cap leaking, overpressurising and intermittent heater operation...

...Do you want a job doing the head gasket on THAT one too?
