Hi free thinkers, two points cause excess piston ring & cyclinder wear. One is the Crankcase vent valve gasses from crankcase directed into intake after air filter, particulates are abrasive. People fit catch can to crankcase vent system to minimise damage. Some catch can filters become blocked & crankcase pressure is relieved through crankshaft seal actually leak oil at seals. The main abrasive problem is EGR Exhaust Gas Recirculation, this emission destroys piston cyclinders & rings with exhaust carbon directed into selected cyclinders. When you remove cyclinder head first give away is ring ridge excessive due to exhaust abrasion. You can see exhaust mottling on valve seat, valves seat maybe leaking. Most engines diesel destroyed at 300, 000 klms.

Hi Louie, the actual cause of the head gasket and ticking noise in these engines is due to the engines overheating. This is caused by the EGR cooler to the rear of the engine failing. This EGR cooler gone can give similar symptoms & I would advise changing that first & the monitoring you symptoms again. Let me know how you get on 😉🤞🤞

Thanks for your honesty posting this, that takes balls. only someone with confidence in themselves would do so. Most workshops nowadays would not take on these jobs. Just a side note on these EGR coolers, I had one I suspected was faulty, the customer stated that is was going through coolant and blowing white smoke occasionally but running smooth. We removed the transmission and unbolted the exhaust flanges both sides (slightly different design to yours). Put the pressure tester on the cooling system o/night and in the morning, nothing, no coolant coming from the exhaust side of the cooler. After some thought I heated the cooler up and then the coolant came pissing out! I cut the egr open to try and figure out why they fail, as this seems common. My theory is the failure point is the ends of the cooler pipes that have the exhaust gas run through them fail. They are sealed at the ends by all fitting into a round plate at the end, then the ends of the tubes are just flared to seal them to the end plate, over time with heat and expansion the tubes are growing in length and pushing away from the plate, hence why mine leaked after I heated it. Just my theory. Love the cartoons, awaiting part 3.

That's a bugger. I rebuild Ranger / BT50 engines regularly so I've got a tip for you if you're interested. These cylinder heads do not handle getting hot - they go soft and generally need to be replaced. Must be the alloy qualities used. You were bloody lucky getting away without using the timing tools.

Some surprising things to me in this video. When using a scope, if you turn the scope and the image or perceived fault rotates with you, its the scope, if it turns opposite in reference to the image, it's in the engine. Straight honing the bores, no cross hatching. No oil pump replacement. Spin the engine so it "hopefully just lubricates", no actual pressure testing! Using old coolant hoses on the EGR cooler and anywhere on the engine! Not replacing worn gears because you like prefer the look of the old ones, ready to wear the new chain! I'll guess the bearings weren't plastigauged. Yeah cut me down, I'm not a mechanic but I'm "sure glad it's not my vehicle!" YMMV! Edit: And I didn't even get to the end of the video, have now, wow!

I was speaking to the owner 2 days ago about his A/C and the car is running perfect.

When you want to check the head gasket first remove injector .when you keep piston at top .then four valve should be closed. Then open the cap of radiator . then where you remove injector from the hole.when you put a pressure of air .Then you observe the bubbles on radiators cap.so,I think that your head gasket is leaking.

@kennedysgarage3281 thanks for the reply mate.

Hello I have a 2.2 ford ranger auto it's got a problem with the heating I've changed the temperature sensor and thermostat still the same. Basically the engine is hot but nothing then I switch off and turn back on it goes up but then drops to dead cold again any help would be appreciated guys

I don’t exactly understand the comment 😞 Does the temperature gauge not rise, then it does when you cycle the key & drop again??

So from a cold start I let the engine run for 30 minutes till the engine is hot to touch the temperature gauge doesn't move then I switch it off the engine I then start the engine again the temperature gauge moves up the half but then drops after a minute or so to cold again but the engine remains hot I've changed thermostat and sensor still the same also there is no hot air coming through the vents in the cabin when I full heat

@@fishing-big-portsmouth cooling systems act funny on modern vehicles. 🤔🤔 On cold start up the coolant is only pumped through the heater radiator/matrix & what I have seen is this seems to be enough to keep the engine cool while the car is stationary, especially if the blower motor is running. Then once the water stops circulating with the engine turned off, the coolant temperature rises due to the water being stagnant and the heat from the steel in the engine. This could possibly then raise the coolant temperature 5 or 10 degrees just enough to open the thermostat. Does that make sense??? I could be so far wrong but I’m thinking your heater radiator could be blocked 🤔🤔 I had very similar a fault recently on a 2016 transit

You are right, I probably should have. In hindsight I probably should have replaced the complete engine block, it was only 2.5k. Probably a better overall job 🤔🤔🤔

I tell you what's going on motors are built of pure cheese Metal isn't metal aluminum isnt alloy nuts and bolts feel and look like they would snap as soon as you would tighten them up Old school mechanics will tell the modern day technicians (ha) the tools you buy today are crap compare a snap on socket to a old snap on one the industry has gone mad anyway waffle over haha you wouldnt get this chew over a 2 litre pinto engine there still going I hope it gets sorted for you pal

Hi Peter , hold fire ! Are you certain it is combustion gases in the header tank , worth pausing before you take the head off again, (if you haven't already). I'd run it alittle longer just to be sure , don't panic as I've done in the past. Fingers crossed for you.
