You can then check the height of the knock/tap in the engine. Piston slap, little ends, cam lifters etc. ??????

Have just had s/h engine fitted that has recon head.Engine has done 180000 kays as opposed to mine with 265000,pick it up tomorrow.Head is for sale if anyone wants it.Mechanic says he;l have no trouble selling it.

Heya Bradley, Did you get the mechanic to knock the head off the motor and have a look at it after it came out? Would be interesting to see Newfangled TD5's , give me a nice solid 300 TDi I hope that is the last chinaman you hit for a while now
