nice work.... and well done finding a decent looking replacement.
I had a 300tdi do the same recently at number two piston. This was caused by coolant leaking internally in the cylinder head, down the exhaust valve and into the combustion chamber at number two piston. Bit disappointing at only 354,000kms. I've owned this car for 14 years and maintained it thoroughly/regularly. Bores in the block are still like new, but the block is toast as is the cylinder head.

A brief update.
The block is stripped. Some wear on the big end and main bearings. The crank has been checked and is in spec, so have ordered standard size bearings. The bores are looking ok as in no lip at the top ( I don’t have a ID micrometer to check), and so the plan at this point is to just hone the bores, replace the rings and reassemble.
A delivery from Turners arrived today.

I’ve just finished cleaning up the deck.
There is a little corrosion. Is that a problem?

Does anyone have a recommendation on a head gasket brand? Most places seem to only sell the Elring brand in 2 hole size. Thanks.

Thanks Tony, I’ve been told about a multi layer metal head gasket. 4WD industries describe the Victor Reinz gasket as a multishim head gasket.
Their webpage photos of the Elring and Victor Reinz gaskets look identical.
Turners only sell the Elring brand. We also used the Elring on a D1 300tdi rebuild. So I’m probably over thinking this.

Another update, replaced the plugs with stainless option supplied by local engine rebuild place, and did final parts order. I’ll repaint the block and clean up accessories while I wait for parts to arrive.
