Hello
mMy name is Francisco, I live in the north of Spain, I bought in January a 2.5 xm with pressure problems in the water circuit, my intention is to bring him back to life, I will publish photographs of my work, a greeting to all.
The car is well preserved, its equipment is high, the owner sells it due to pressure problems in the water circuit.
I made the repair myself, I'm not a mechanic, my job is in a transport company.
The xm already at home, start the rock and roll !!!!!!!
Engine out !!!!!
Oil leakage high mileage 460,000 km (288,937 miles)
repaired alternator,
new bearings,
new copper brushes.
Original clutch, the end of his life, is next !!!!
Bad vibrations, water in the cylinder
I have left the butt in the specialist, the worst expectations are fulfilled, broken stock ...
New cylinder head solution, with screws.
Good mor
Sorry for my english, I am helped by the google translator.
I have disassembled the old valves, the 8 intake, very deteriorated, and the new exhaust, but with many miles on their backs, I decided, the 12 new valves.
worn intake valve on the face of the seat with the stock, the 8 sisters.
After settling the 12 valves, this is the result, a lot of work, to accommodate the valves with the paste, roughing.
Wow that's very impressive Francisco. Nice work!

Verrry impressive... It's always nice to see another Xm being saved from the scrap-yard.
