fuel leak problem revisited.

Post by sail410 »

I had posted on the fuel leak on my 6lp-stp. Pulled the valve cover this morning and found a piece broken out of the head above the fuel nozzle seal. the injector bolt was very loose and the fuel return line was cracked in two places. Serious problem probably need a new head. any thoughts or advice?

Can it be welded then re machined? This is common repair method but not knowing exactly whereyours is broken I can,t advise further
An automotive machine shop could advise better.
I know I had a vw disel head repairex by welding it was common.
