hi

before removing the head, remove the plugs and spin engine over with them out, observe if any water is ejected from the plug holes.

Then using a compression tester check the compression in each cyl, this should determine whether the HG is blown. If compresson is good no need to remove the head.

let us know

Al

I know it's a bit late now but these 2.2 diesels are prone to crack heads when they overhead. If so be careful about a replacement because there are chinese heads which appear to be made out of chocolate as they don't last.....

Good luck.

My Dad's got the same problem. Great.
