Has anybody got a diagram or photo of the fuel pipe connections to fuel rail and carb for the above. Just rebuilding after head gasket and should have labeled but forgot. Just want to make sure I get them around the right way. And the breather pipe to carb - just check which pipe goes where on carb as there's 2 inlet pipes on carb. See image. (feel a bit daft!). Couldn't find an exact match on web for engine code and nothing in manuals on the web or Hayes really helps. I can probably work it out but anything will help.

 

Thank you.

Worked it out. All fine. Thanks for all the replies. 

In case it helps someone in the future. Pipe 1 goes to carb and pipe 2 goes to injector rail. Head gasket straightforward. Removed inlet and exhaust manifolds from head before removal. Hayes manual suggests leaving manifolds on. Found it easier to remove but I did spray bolts with WD40 for 48 and 24 hours and just before removing so came off ok. Needed breaker bar to remove head bolts very carefully to avoid snapping. That was really the only difficult bit.

Biggest problem was getting the rocker box off! Didn't realise the washers underneath the 10mm nuts were also screwed on. Took me a little while to twig.

Just remember when reassembling to put the brackets back before the head bolts. Probably better to get the pistons half way up and make carboard templates to ensure pushrods and head bolts kept in same order.

Gaskets were about £40.00 from Skoda for Head, Inlet and Exhaust. Head skim £66.00 (incl. VAT). New oil, filter and coolant.

 

Going ok so far but a bit early to tell.

 

Well done fella.

Might be time to consider updating your terminology from carb to throttle body, more people will understand what you mean.

Good point. Hoping the picture would help. Brought up with carbs. Best being a BMW Alpina, triple twin Weber’s. Oh the fun of it.
