Geeze mate. A 10 for dedication. That's a hell of a job for an injector pump. Fingers crossed it works.Originally Posted by mullet_hunter
So the glow plug.. Number 3 cylinder by any chance ?? It is a common problem and sometimes causes the dreaded failures.
From memory people swap to ceramic over tungsten tips to minimise damage if it happens, but ceramic has a shorter life span. So IMO treat the glow plugs like a service item. Say every 50 thou. They are cheap. And if it saves a rebuild.
IMO your this far now I'd order new head Studs and gasket and pull it. Check out the bores,
Valves and Pistons.
But definitely take to cleaning out all those intake pipes and the intercooler. Then block the egr.
Fingers are crossed for ya bloke

Does that chain need replacing say at 200K or good to go.
Looks like your getting on top of it
Changing my glow plugs for first time soon,
not giving any probs but 220k now
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Don't forget to flood them with some lubricants before trying.
I'd start now and allow it to heat up and cool a few times.
