    AMC td5 head fail?

    Started gaining oil on the dipstick on my td5. It has an AMC after market head. Any one had one fail like the original heads? No idea the k’s it’s done. Hoping it’s just o-rings.

    Oil or oil and diesel?
    If it is the latter, I would suspect the o rings and washers on an injector. Relatively easy job, as long as injectors come out without the need for a special tool.I've not heard of AMC fuel gallery failure, in fact I replaced my original head with an AMC because of this problem with original head.

    My mate had an brand new AMC head fail last year. Took a while to diagnose as initially it was assumed to be injector seals leaking. Supplier eventually accepted the head was faulty and supplied a new head and an amount of compensation to cover some of the costs in rectifying the issue.

    Bugger.
    The AMC was supposed to be better than the original as they had more meat around the rail area?

    Got the good fellas at hypertune cairns to replace the injector seals and all is good. Seems the o rings got hard. AMC head still solid. Feels like I’ve dodged a bullet😁
