Chris if that's old head isn't there any way to crack or grind head near injector port to loosen injector like when you crack a nut

[tractor]

[Guest 2b cruising]

I see you have a fully kitted out gym.

Lots of weights.

[jaimo]

Go for it Chris see I not just full of crap sometimes I have good ideas or should I say bodges let us know mate

[tractor]

I will get my 9" on it this avo

[Guest 2b cruising]

Have you tried heat with the slide hammer yet?

[tractor]

didnt want to damage injector with heat

[Guest 2b cruising]

WD in water jacket around injector?

[tractor]

are you talking rollucks again ken

[Guest 2b cruising]

O no I ain't.

Anyway get your 9" on it. Just don't touch injector with it.

The heat will save you using a blow torch that way.

good call Jaimo managed to cut the injector out of the head there was no way it was coming out with a slide hammer or hydraulic puller it was so corroded once I had cut through to the water jacket you could see the corrosion had bleed through the aluminium so once it was out had to spend quite I while cleaning the injector once I had fitted the injector it was time to turn the key after quite a lot of cranking it burst into life I hadn't fitted the intercooler yet cos the front of the van was still sat in the garden it ticked over for about 20 seconds and then died so I stripped the intercooler out of the front frame work and temp fitted it started the engine again and after about the same time again it sounded really ruff and cut out also now I had oil pissing out from back of engine once I had cleaned the oil up I got under there to see wot was wrong and oh cock I hadn't reconnected the turbo oil return pipe and it is an absolute git to get to after a lot of swearing and banged knuckels I sorted it all ive got left to do is stick some anti freeze in test drive it and put the under tray back on and I don't ever want to take that engine to bits again I think its time to look at getting rid of it and getting a rear wheel drive van which should make engine maintenance a lot easier

[jaimo]

Glad it worked Chris I have done that before with a Peugeot van and it worked as well just repaying the advice that you given me mate

[Guest 2b cruising]

Another well done and job finished for you Chris.

You have the right idea of a new van.

Can't help you on which to get though as nearly all fwd now, including the old faithful tranny.

[tractor]

been looking at transits think you have to go for 2.4 and above to get rear wheel drive
