Can confirm as I had been told on here that 8 rockers were damaged. I'd be willing to rent the tool out, message me if your interested. |
Luckily (although it wasnt so lucky)when the belt went the head didnt need to come off. Unfortunately that means I cant confirm or deny.
Good luck! |
The chrysler service manual seems to indicate that the head can be removed from the CRD without removing the engine from the car.
It does say the exhaust manifold and turbo need to be removed, and it is tight behind there, but you might be able to take an engine mount off and move the engine about to get access. The service manual isn't great, so the engine might need to come out.....you won't know 'till you try it. |
Scotsman tool hire
DM Beale you and I are close by - if you still need to hire the tool perhaps we can split the cost? If thats ok with you Scotsman? I'm in Sevenoaks.

Fingers crossed it is the gasket. Is £1500 for a recon engine, or brand new? |
Bad luck.....That sounds shocking. You don't hear of that happening too often on VM engines.
Suppose the conrod must have broke and mangled the piston/liner etc. |
