Thread: Advice on TD5 cylinder head replacement

A better alternative is a Spanish head from Europe, like the ones Turner Engineering sell here Special offer Land Rover parts from Turner Engineering
and at 1095 quid, (A$1800) plus shipping, it's a cheaper and some say better option.

Jeepers. With shipping it looks like just under $2000 AUD delivered, with 12 mth warranty.

Sounds like a reasonable deal!

Does anyone have any experience with the heads supplied by Turner Engineering?

(The mechanic who has my car in bits at the moment told me there were two aftermarket heads which he said were both rubbish ...)

for a few bucks more than a second hand head you get a new reportedly improved head with a 12 month warranty from T-engineering. So I'd be asking your mechanics reasoning for saying they are rubbish.

See if you can get a reasonable KM complete motor from a wreck,should be available for less than $5000.Keep your motor for spares or to sell bits off.

Bear in mind that in reality any second hand TD5 head should be skimmed before fitting as the gaskets have a type of wills ring which digs into the face of the head.

I wouldnt touch a second hand head that you dont know the history of, when a new one is hardly any more.

Turner Engineering have a good reutation as far as I have heard.

just been down this road.
Turner engineering head $2100 landed. I would buy one of there head fitting kits. (I didnt) but cheaper than getting gaskets bolts etc locally.

Cheers

Thanks all for advice and suggestions. The Turner head is looking good, methinks.

Sounds appropriate. A turner head for your head turner (i.e. D2).
