My Surf has the standard 82°C unit fitted. It is interesting to note that the Surf V6 motor also has an 82°C thermostat in the bottom hose, where is the 2.7 4 cylinder has an 88°C thermostat located in the usual position on the head. I stand to be corrected as I have never done one of these engines. Emulator ps2 dan bios android 2. As long as the area where the head gasket is supposed to seal is fine then there should not be a problem. Those replacement engines are a bit of a gamble. Turbos and injectors can be replaced at a later stage without having to pull the engine. My point is simply that if I am at the same stage of the fix and funds allow for it then I rebuild everything. The peace of mind when you are out in the sticks somewhere alone makes it worth it. Thanks for the concern guys - much appreciated!!:) The pitting seems to be around the edge of the main combustion 'woof' which comes out of the combustion chamber (please see the close-up pic of 'Cylinder 4 Cleaned 1' posted on 11 March). I am still pretty convinced that it is due to the coolant getting into the cylinder - water seems to eat metal when it gets very hot. I didn't take any pictures back then to verify, but I vaguely remember seeing something similar when we blew the head-gasket on our E36 BMW M52 engine. Bear in mind that the vehicle has done at least 15,000km with an increasingly cracked head. The 'crystalised' coolant also seemed to be stuck inside the pitting. I've just done a quick search and found the following:. (Here's the link to the manufacturer's site: ). In my mind, the process would be the same chemical reaction as rusting. Since the crack in the head seems to be mostly around the cylinder 4 exhaust valve, my theory is that coolant was getting sucked into the cylinder somewhere at the end of the exhaust stroke and depositing on the top of the piston. The 'explosion' in the combustion chamber displaced most of this coolant to the edges of the piston, where it steamed up and slowly ate away at the metal. That said, I could of course be completely wrong and it could be the injector?? I am not a mechanic and my experience is limited - this is the first engine I've opened. Parts have been ordered from Gemini, so engine replacement is off the table now. Total came to about R12K (excl. VAT) for a complete AMC head, complete 'genuine' engine overhaul gasket kit (not just head gasket kit - they didn't have available), 'genuine' cylinder head gasket, and 'genuine' exhaust manifold. Will still have to make sure that everything which arrives is what was expected, when they deliver:). Engine Reassembled.JPG (66.18 KiB) Viewed 10411 times The engine took a while to start. Then it ran well for a bit, and then started to run really badly and rough and suffocating us with smoke from the exhaust. I went back to the engine repair manual and started looking through the diagnostics, but started the engine again a bit later and after a while it was purring nicely. Most likely there was just a lot of air in the fuel lines. The engine still turns over a few times before starting - I thought that it might start much quicker (on the first one or two cranks) after the replacement but that does not seem to be the case. Took the car out for a test-drive and everything seems fine. There is no noticeable increase in power - maybe just a bit stronger in the low revs. I think that power is lacking in the upper revs but this is most likely down to turbo and not really serious (in my mind at least). There is absolutely nothing (visible) coming out of the exhaust now - there was always a little bit of white smoke before. Time will tell what the situation with Cylinder 4 (pitted one) is, and also less importantly what the situation is with the turbo / injectors / fuel-pump. Thanks for all the help and support guys! I'll post anything else which may be of use to other people tackling this job a little later. (49.06 KiB) Downloaded 517 times Sundry notes: - I couldn't get the one stud bolt out of the old cylinder head (just ended up stripping it). This was luckily just a bolt for connecting an external pipe to the head so that the pipe doesn't rattle around, so it wasn't serious. I just replaced with a normal bolt. - On reassembly of the intake manifold to the cylinder head I could not get the one nut up to torque. I swopped the stud bolt and the nut for another one, with the same result. This basically means that the thread on the cylinder-head side was stripping. I don't know if the fact that I reused the stud bolts had anything to do with this, bit it's really not impressive for a brand new head so far as I am concerned!
