Common Problems Solved

Problem	Cause	Solution
Head cracks between valve seats	Overheating or casting fatigue	New casting, pressure-tested
Oil leaks or valve ticking	Worn seals or lash adjusters	New valve seals and hydraulic adjusters
Camshaft wear	Poor lubrication or high mileage	New camshafts + journal caps
Injector seat erosion	Combustion pressure leakage	Precision-machined injector seating pockets
Loss of compression	Valve seat erosion or warpage	New valves, seats, and fully machined deck

Installation Advice

Thoroughly clean the engine block surface and inspect for warpage.
Use a new cylinder head gasket and new head bolts.
Torque bolts in correct sequence (start from center out) and follow angle torque procedure.
Check injector sealing and valve clearance (hydraulic adjusters may self-adjust).
Align timing chain precisely and verify oil flow to camshaft.
After installation, bleed the cooling system and check for any leaks or pressure loss.
