I don't think that it is too difficult to replace a
diesel head gasket. I did it in a Rabbit with only a
little difficulty. I am handy but do not consider
myself an able auto mechanic. If the head gasket is
blown chances are it is from overheating and the head
is warped too. This is not a big
Well, kinda correct. Different engines have different
configurations, but for a standard inline four stroke
engine here's how it is: The block has the cylinders
in it with the pistons running up and down inside
them. To close them off to get compression there's a
big chunk of metal (the head)

Hello All
this is my first ever message ( Please forgive my spelling.)
I have so far only used the single stage
The head gasket is a definite possibility, and I would
think with many engines the most likely one. It's also
possible for a cracked head or block to do that, or a
warped head. But those are luckily much less common.
And I know that on our Vanagon diesel there's an oil
cooler that uses engine
Depends on the engine.My diesel engine is a 20 yr old Toyota 3B ( V4 ),
not common in the US, but in most cases plenty of parts are still available
from Canada and a few specialty places here in the US.Shop manual is
