⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Coolant loss with no external leak, or coolant in the oil
• White steam from the exhaust, or bubbles in the header tank
• Loss of compression on one or two cylinders
• Head face corroded, eroded between ports or found distorted
• Cracks around a valve seat or an injector or plug bore

🛠️ Service Notes

• At 17.894 kg plan a two-person lift or a hoist, and check whether the head arrives bare or with valve gear before ordering the rest

• Valve cover gaskets and manifold gaskets are normally renewed at the same time - exhaust manifold 3858870 sits on this range
