V6 Cylinder Head needed.
Posted: Sat Jan 18, 2025 7:39 am
Hi all,
Following a dreaded cambelt break, I am in need of technical advice please, regarding the right side cylinder head.
The valves have suffered from meeting the piston crowns.
The three cylinders on the right side all have reduced compression testing figures. ( The left side three cylinders still have superb readings )
Is there a supplier of reconditioned cylinder heads for the Mazda Bongo V6 in the UK ? Mine is the 2001 variant. Internet searching is not proving to be an easy solution.
Alternatively, the cylinder head on there at the moment could be removed and have new valves etc fitted.
I've had a new cambelt fitted, and the engine runs, but I don't want to drive it anywhere.
I am in south Hampshire area and could have my poorly Bongo taken to a Bongo specialist who is highly recommended in the south or east Hampshire area... Ideally not tooooo far from Fareham PO14 area...
Could I have recommendations please for a Bongo friendly specialist. Either to refurbish the current cylinder head, or exchange for a reconditioned one... I don't know which would be more cost effective.
Thankyou in advance
