Mechanical head to hydraulic engine? 1.6TD
« on: October 27, 2006, 02:06:28 am »
Can I use mechanical head on what used to be hydraulic head engine? Hydraulic head is broken and I can't get new one where I am or at least with good price. What else needs to be replaced when I want to make that swap?

I've done this, you basically need to have machine shop make a flat plug that fits in the oil return hole on the front of the block.. it has to be level with the deck. Then use a mechanical headgasket and slap your head on.

What is the problem with your hydraulic head?
