300 Tdi head replacement questions

Hi Guys,

Here are the photos. The short bolt is the longest it can be without fouling on the timing case. Unless anybody has any other ideas I can't see any other option than to pull the head.


Regards

Hi Jarrod

My last posting about this has disappeared into cyberspace! :o

Do that bolt the other way, by pulling off the ancillary bracket and replace the 'P' gasket at the same time, a lot less work and expense than taking the head off again.
.

although i agree with arthur that I would pull the front case to check on the P gasket and look at the rubber band timing belt...

to get you out of a bind - will and M8 stud sueeze in better than a bolt? Then run on a thinned nut? Just to get you home? Or just chuck in your modded bolt it will hold water to get you home - then check the timing belt etc once home.
