We have a '91 2.5lt Turbo diesel with a cracked head. The compression test has come back as good & the mechanic is starting on Monday to strip the engine to find out what cracked the head in the 1st place. Has anyone had any experience/ideas as to what may have cracked the head?
I'm just trying to arm myself with as much info as possible as I'm not confident in the mechanic.... he quoted us approx. $700 to fix a "problematic" oil leak... once we explained we had recently spent that amount of money to fix other oil leaks, he suddenly came back with the fact that it might just be the O ring around the dip stick. Now I have my suspicions...![Dunno[1]](https://www.pajeroforum.com.au/core/smilies/0/0/5/4/3/6/images/smilies/dunno[1].gif)
Any info would be helpful.
