Hi all,

I have the head off my td5 for the 2nd time in 5 years now due to a leaking cam shaft carrier-head interface. Last time I did the head gasket, I used Loctite 318 which lasted about a year until I got a leak on the Rear RHS corner of the head, just above the FPR. I have reassembled the head again now using Loctite Master Gasket as recommended by MR automotive, however I can see this happening again.

Is it possible for the camshaft carrier to become bent during removal and refitting? And has anyone else had this issue?
