Just out of interest Jay, where in relation to the 100 on the temp gauge did your needle sit around, mine is one mark below the 100

Cheers Chaps, TBH I have done a head before.

I know the local recommended place that heads and things go to and that all the garages use.

I guess if I am thinking its screwed already, what harm can I cause.

There you go

at the end of the day its only nuts n bolts, pull it off, machine shop for the work, they will supply the gaskets n new head bolts etc, refitting will need a bit of care especially when it comes to the head tightening sequence but straight forward enough, if the final torque up is angular then just draw a line on the head bolts and tighten using a simple protractor

Jedi - All I know is that it sits just under 1/2 (as you know its Nat's Daily drive), she did say on a couple of occasions it rose to half which it never did before.

Demonicwillow - I have got the gasket kit and bolts already so part way there. I am off work on Wednesday, may have a crack at it.

you got a torque wrench

jay140285 · « **Reply #129 on:** November 12, 2012, 01:18:44 PM »

Old school one, not a decent one.

bigjeepzj · « **Reply #130 on:** November 12, 2012, 01:29:59 PM »

Got a modern one you can borrow if needed think I've got a angular one to

jay140285 · « **Reply #131 on:** November 12, 2012, 01:34:55 PM »

Thanks Dave, much appreciated.

Fingers crossed the weather is ok Wednesday and I will get at it.

Let me know if you want a hand on Wednesday as I'm off as well.

jay140285 · « **Reply #133 on:** November 12, 2012, 03:21:49 PM »

Cheers, I was thinking of of starting it early afternoon as I have to be in court (access to son) at 10:30 for an hour.

If your up for it though I would really appreciate an afternoons hand.

get it ll stripped down and i know where there is a decent sensibly priced machine shop that will sort it for you.

jay140285 · « **Reply #135 on:** November 12, 2012, 08:17:45 PM »

Thanks Rob, It seems a plan is forming.

Evening All,

Big thanks to DONK for this afternoon, when I got home at lunch time he was already working away on the WJ.

So we have the head off and this is the problem, slipped liner.

I am away now until next week so on Tuesday I will pull the other head and get them sent away for new liners and valves. From there we can get it re built and back on the road

jay140285 · « **Reply #138 on:** November 14, 2012, 05:57:44 PM »

Mike, do you have a work shop manual you could email for when we re do the timing?

Please.

Tis a whole lot easier to know what your going to do as per repairs once the head is off, shouldnt be too costly to sort that out, could have been a whole lot worse, but as the seat has slipped out would be worth having your local lpg fella to make sure the flash/valve lube is reaching all the inlets as Kev previously hinted at

jay140285 · « **Reply #145 on:** November 14, 2012, 08:19:59 PM »

Its due a gas service once its running so will ensure that is checked out.

Jeepjedi · « **Reply #146 on:** November 14, 2012, 08:32:08 PM »

i know of a place near me (my local LPG mechanic), there is a 4.7 HO out of the car and would sell

jay140285 · « **Reply #147 on:** November 14, 2012, 08:35:42 PM »

Should only be a couple of hundred to get my heads rebuilt Nick. That way I know they are perfect as opposed to used.

Cheers through dude.

jay140285 · « **Reply #149 on:** January 20, 2013, 10:05:41 AM »

Mine was no2 cylinder had dropped the valve seat, heads rebuilt and all gaskets replaced

Took a while to do but saved huge labour bills
