Oil gallery plugs? If you take the injectors out you will probaly find they have been moving around which damages the bore and when you need a cam and with their propensity for leaking head gaskets, if you want to keep it I would look at building a new head based on an AMC or KS casting using your original valves and springs and new aftermarket (billet steel, not cast) cam kit. What to do about the injectors is a conundrum, they are available exchnage from Bosch who are the only people I will buy them from because £647.40 EACH from VAG is insane but I don't know what planet Euro Car Parts are on listing the exchnage Bosch units at £1504.99.... In fact delving into it there is something going on out there over the Bosch 0 986 441 559, they are mad money everywhere but they are ont tinetrweb at £460... personally I would scarp the car and buy a petrol! Look at it this way, many areas of the UK will be charging an EU4 diesel £12 odd a day in a couple of years but I have no idea what Irelands plans are.
Dark was that day when Diesel conceived his grim engine that begot you, vile invention, more vicious, more criminal than the camera even, metallic monstrosity, bale and bane of our culture, chief woe of our Commonweal. How dare the Law prohibit hashish and heroin yet license your use, who inflate all weak inferior egos? Their addicts only do harm to their own lives: you poison the lungs of the innocent, your din dithers the peaceful, and on choked roads hundreds must daily die by chance-medley. Nimble technicians, surely you should hang your heads in shame. Your wit works mighty wonders, has landed men on the Moon, replaced brains by computers, and can smithy a "smart" bomb. It is a crying scandal that you cannot take the time or be bothered to build us, what sanity knows we need, an odorless and noiseless staid little electric brougham.
