    98 2.8 RD28....head off in bits....

    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

    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
