Time for a new cylinder head.....

[knobby1]

Thanks again. Hoping to keep this repair as cheap as poss as the garage quoted me £1700. £700 of which is a brand new head from Ford

1700...quid.. I think You can get a whole new lump..including fitting for that..!

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy maybe use it to run them over though its been working well since the injector replacement and faulty wiring fix ( touch wood it continues to do so) but for how long is anyone's guess. N

That is the one nice part of the story - for 100% you got correct kit rocker and cylinder head.
I don't know - am I now an optymist, or a pesimist?

Yeah its pretty darn expensive

Can anyone tell me how the part numbers work?

Ive found a replacement potentially on ebay but the numbers are slightly different to mine.

If anyone could explain what the part numbers denote, or how i can identify a head that would fit my van i would appreciate it.

Thanks

But...but..he said this in the first post..:

"Van is an 06 t350 125."

I'm so confused...as usual..!

Sorry all, i will try to clarify the exact model as differrent people have told me different things.

Ford etis tells me that the van is a 2006 rwd lwb. 1.7 t350 2.4L tdci (140ps)

[ned]

What's the reg number? 140ps is mk7. N

[man le-mans]

Hi all

I suffered the dreaded timing chain tensioner fault recently and now need a new cylinder head. Bugger!

Ive had the old cylinder hear removed and got the numbers off it.

Can anyone advise how i can determine which other heads will fit? Is there a certain range of parts that will fit?

Van is an 06 t350 125.

Thanks

I’d break the van and buy another van, even if you just sell the van with the engine gone you still get few hundred quid for it.
You can also use it for parts

[onemanpeloton]

Etis tells me its 140ps based on my reg number. But pretty sure my van is a mk6 since its pre facelift with the floor mounted gear stick, old dashboard etc
