Renewing head gasket. What else should I do?

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Hendrik Skarpeid, Jul 6, 2006.

  1. I'm renewing the head gasket on my 1993 605, driven 190000 km. It's got a
    XU10J2Z engine. (2 litre injection).
    The cam belt is overdue, so it will also be replaced.
    I'm also thinking about renewing the water pump, as it is the original, and
    a Peugeot mechanic suggested is some time ago.

    What else should I check/renew while I'm at it?

    Hi,
    Sounds right, belt, water pump & tensionners.

  3. In addition to what G T recommends, you should also renew the cam- and
    crankshaft oil seals.

    Hi,
    Oooops, I forgot to mention, also change the accessories' belt at the same
    time. Tiny cost, so you just open the bonnet once for all.
    I use to change the acc. belt with the timing belt, although not absolutely
    necessary, mine was a bit cracked when I did mine (last year), it was 5
    years old (like the belt, of course).
