Wouldn't make anyway because the original headgasket was slapped on with them anywayOnly if they're deep. If you can't feel them with your fingernail you should be fine.

or like they call it in the manual 'vernier gauge'Got the camshaft/injectors mounted on the car now. But I wonder since I don't have a big enough measuring caliper to measure up to 333mm in lenght for the number one injector, how straight do I need to get them? I have the Irwin manual for my car and have the measurements but I cant really get my hands on a big enough measuring tool
Thank you for a snappy response, alright 2k for 30 minutes it is then, and yeah I used assembly lube (mos2) on the lifters/bearing surfaces but most of it wiped away after doing a few turns with the crank, there is still tons of it on the liftersSound is totally normal when everything is in place and you have compression. Now, you should've used assembly lube on the cam and lifters face, perhaps you can still do that while you rotate the engine.
Also, you do need break-in oil, and procedure: iirc something like 30 min at 2k rpm fixed, then change the break-in oil for your PD oil (5w40/505.1).
Break-in oil is special oil. Not exactly sure what's in it, but it helps with mating new surfaces.Thank you for a snappy response, alright 2k for 30 minutes it is then, and yeah I used assembly lube (mos2) on the lifters/bearing surfaces but most of it wiped away after doing a few turns with the crank, there is still tons of it on the lifters
but poor king am i thinking correctly?
poor king am i thinking correctly tho?
the belt is already on, i have spun the crank loads of times, the pictures i added were after i mounted everything with the timing beltYour golden, don't overthink it. Using camshaft lube is more than enough. Lot of people don't even bother changing the oil.
Your not trying to do a cam swap without the locking tools, are you? When it comes to putting the belt back on you need them
break inn went alright, only slight hiccup was that the valve on the diesel filter started to leak for some reason, luckily i had another one laying aroundim currently in the car doing the break inn
It didn't smoke at all, or it did from the engine bay? but i think that is all the leftover wd-40 i used i will go for a test drive after it has cooled down and ive replaced the oilneighbors never appreciate that part, specially if your car smokes a little
Well can't really say much, i am suprised and happy it went well, car still has it's power, no smoke, no leaking anywhere from what i can see, but when i filled the oil after cam break inn there is mikshake/mayo on the cap, not on the dipstick. I am guessing sone residual coolant was still in there from when i took the original head off, when i drained the first oil or the oil that was in the car when i took the old head out there was a good 2 seconds of coolant draining instead of oil. So hopefully it's just thatIt didn't smoke at all, or it did frim the engine bay? but i think that is all the leftovet wd-40 i used i will go for a test drive after it has cooled down and ive replaced the oil
sway bar bushings look good. All bushings on control arms were replaced last year, whole shock assembley has been replaced last year, can tie rods make these sounds? I will get the car on a hoist/lift and maybe 'drive' it on the lift to see if i can replicate and check everything againSway bar bushings, aft lower control arm bushings , rear beam bushings , forward upper shock bushing.....:
Does this do it in a flat surface or bumpy surface?
Can you tell if front or back ?
i would say the sound is more noticeable on a flat surface going straight, because then there is less sound of the tires/everything else, i might just be over my head now, listening to every single thing i can hear, but this sound i am hearing is something for sureSway bar bushings, aft lower control arm bushings , rear beam bushings , forward upper shock bushing.....:
