RD28T head question

Post by KIWI »

I need a new head for the GU (RD28Ti), anyone know if an earlier RD28 non turbo head will fit, or GQ RD28T head?


Cheers

Spend the money & get a new one, second hand ones will crack easily & these engines are prone to it. A new one will see you out even if it does cost more than a grand.
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...

Cracked mine last week, Engine Reconditioner sourced a new bare head plus a kit of gaskets and the like from Melbourne for $1500, another $500 labour to put Cam and valves back in, then back to mechanic to assemble engine... :cry: :cry: :cry:

I'd rather go second hand as the truck has a 24mth mechanical warranty on it, so if I crack the head, I get a new one for free :cool:
Just couldn't use warranty on this head as the problem was caused from a broken glow plug which cant be removed :cry:
