Some Photos Of The Damage Caused By Gasket Failure(2.2)

[ormi]

i've had a few pm's on why the block and head need to be changed when the gasket fails on the 2.2 diesel.....i have even managed to help a member get an engine replaced even though the garage told him their was no such fault......

the reason the head and block need changed is because the gasket shuffles on the head an block wearing groves rendering them scrap....skimmimg the block and head isnt allowed....anyway heres a few pics of a rebuild i've just done so people can understand the damage thats done...

the head

close up

and the block

hopes this sheds some light....

Interesting stuff Ormi. What allows the gasket to shuffle?

[ormi]

theirs a covering on the gasket somethings making that come off which is allowing the gasket to move,the new gaskets have been changed...
