OM606 Headgasket Replacement: Few Questions
Hello.
I am gearing up to replace my headgasket due to weeping of coolant on the passenger side near cyl 6. I plant to replace the timing chain, guides and tensioner as well. Also plan to have the head sent to a machine shop to check valves etc. I have recently serviced all injectors and replaced all 6 glowplugs & wiring harness. Does anyone have the timing chain crimping tool? Does anyone have the cam timing locks? Does anyone have a good pictorial of this process (I have WDS and EPC, but more pics is better to review beforehand). Thanks

You will need a flywheel lock to remove the balancer bolt. I think its under $30

Make sure the machine shop has the specialty tool to remove the prechambers. The head may need to be surfaced because of the head Gasket.

Since you’re taking the head off, you can buy a Febi chain kit(which is the factory iwis chain) and do all the chain guides and rails at the same time. It is a full chain, no rolling in/crimping needed

Yes because the front cover has the cylinder head at the top and the oil pan at the bottom. I would only attempt removing this cover if I were doing a head gasket or something
