MB Trac advice

[renewablejohn]

If it is the head gasket you should be able to get away with just taking the head and exhaust pipes off. You will however need besides the head gasket new exhaust gaskets and a rocker cover gasket. When you torque the head down make sure you tighten in the correct sequence and to the right torque setting.

I'll be getting a plant mechanic to do it John... I wouldnt say I am competent enough for a job like that!

Make sure you get a written quote for the work. I have just been turned over by a very well known engineering company converting my MB Trac for forwarding use.

Quite lucky with mine, it has a full werner kit on it including front loader, guarding, belly plate and winch set/butt plate.

 

Have you got any photos??

 

 

I spoke to the plant mechanic today and he said that he wouldnt do the job on a fixed price as he wasnt sure exactly how long it would take but he did tell me it would be no longer than a day, depending on the condition of the head and how easy it will be to get the gasket off.

I would stick a sykes pickervant coolant pressure tester on it when cold. Pressurise to cap pressure or 6 psi if not sure. Often you will get a nice dribble and find other leaks before risk a nice new gasket.

I would be to embarrassed to post pictures of there handy work. I think butchers would be a more apt title for them rather than engineers.
