Like the screws removed, I would knock the head down, check the valves, and give a new head gasket. By the way, he checked the GMP dial gauge, protruding pistons and whether there are already large cracks between the valves ?
The injection pump and the shaft set for signs, and the camshaft for the sign (but this is indicative, because the camshaft gear has no wedge) and when the camshaft is loose, the shafts set for dial indicator. Without dial indicator it is asking for problems with starting in winter.
scheme from asters f but 99% fits Out of curiosity, what is the reason for the failure? Sliding strip? Some "mechanic" dipped his hands there?
"Na artie" - what if it turns out that the valve has bent? Probably 4 or 5 times I was dealing with broken levers in this engine, once the valves were ok, but usually 1, 2 valves were bent.
