Great write up. I am however having some issues after replacing my Td5 Head gasket.
I’m still getting oil in my cooling system.
Is it possible to tighten the head gasket some more after a recently gasketchange?
After less than 250km, I had a shop replace the head gasket and now it is leaking again.
I’m in the 3rd world, so no legal recourse here, as for taking it back to these hacks.
I’m gonna try tighter, maybe 100 ftlbs total.
Does anyone have any opinions, short of an entire tear down and rebuild?
thanks.

The head bolts are tightened by angles on the last stages as they are TTY, if they have been replaced (as they should have been ) don't touch.Quote:

good luck with it.
