Hello Again From NewZealand

Post by lee13 » Sat May 01, 2010 11:02 pm

BIG THANKS FOR THIS SITE IAN AND ALL

Well Im Just Finnishing Off The Install Of Another Cylinder Head, Yep Folks Another, Even Worse Only Got 47,000 Klm Out of the last New Chinese
Head and the New Factory Ones Have Come Down In Price But Are Still Expensive over $1600.00NZD So I opted for another After market Cheepie
And Have Been IN and Out Getting Specs ETC

Now This Time The Head Cracked Between Valve Seats And It Only Gave Me One Warning burp sound from Water Bottle Look AT Temp Guage
3/4 To HOT Bugger to late

Anyway i have found diesel leaking from inj pump its coming from "i THINK" the seal Number 30 only drips on DeAcceleration And i wonder if this may have been the issue that cooked the head i.e fuel air ratio or Lean out but dont know alot about diesel as im a Petrol Mechanic and as close as you would get to a diesel when i was an apprentice was change oil/filters

Regards Lee

Changed seal #30 still drip drip of diesel "HMMMM" pulled under engine guards off reason because item fell out of pump #35/1 found that PHEW, Leaking coming from other side of body item #36 and as that part of the pump positioning is higher diesel runs downwards here too LOL

I've met Fredanz, from Christchurch which admitedly is quite away from you but both Peter & Vicki are ex North Islanders in a round about fashion & may well be able to point you in the right direction for local-ish help.

Worth a PM perhaps. . . . .
