The news is not so good and I'm back, cap-in-hand for more help and advice.
The shop took the head off today in the presence of the consultant engineer
and me.
The bolts were not marked with paint; when I asked about this the shop
manager said there was no need to do this and it wasn't in the FSM.
Could someone check the FSM for the correct head bolt sequence and
procedures please?
However, leaving that aside:
The head looks absolutely perfect, no sign of any cracks, no combustion gas
escape marking, no coolant in any of the pots. The face of the head is
absolutely flat, we checked it.
No sign of any visible cracks in the top of the block.
No sign of any marks on the gasket, not even the faintest scratch on the
fire rings.
In fact there was no sign of anything wrong at all!
The engineer has no ideas, he could see nothing wrong. He's going to write
me a report but he's already said it won't say anything untoward.
So what gives? What do I look for now?
Does anyone have a photo or hi-res diagram of a genuine FZJ head gasket that
they could email me or post up on here? The best resolution image possible
please. The only unknown left from my point of view is "is this the correct
gasket" and I can only tell if I compare the old one with a known correct
one.
Could someone send me a pic please?
Thanks again in advance.
