Hi All
Just wondered if anyone has any advice on what else to replace during rebuild if head OK when tested and my problem was just a head gasket?

Looking to get new rad flush cooling and poss new water pump thermostat
Will do all belts .hoses injectors if required filters and oil
Glow plugs are they a must??

Any one come across anything that could be a future problem if not done now??

Cheers Doffer

The harmonic balancer worth taking it off and checking it is all good they are known to flog out the Keyway

Depends how much money you want to spend. While its apart you could also look at getting the injectors serviced.

Oh and I guess it goes without saying that you will replace the timing belt and bearings. I assume you already knew that but just making sure
