Thinking out loud about mtdi
#86
What I've heard, from the garage spanner monkeys, is the 16v head is an utter twunt.

Cambelt snaps or EGR gunks everything up.
To then remove the cam cover the Injectors get stuck in the head.
Possibly damage said injectors when trying to remove.
Cam cover now off and discover (don't quote me) something to do with the internal cam chain tensioner has worn and now eaten into the actual head itself.

Therefore head is debatable whether to use.


Though would be interesting as not many 16v setups are kicking about.
