zd30 oil leak after new cylinder head

[toddross]

Hi guys. Iv just replaced my head and all the gaskets on my zd30ddt. Finally put it back together to find I have a pretty nasty oil leak coming from the front of the head somewhere. Iv started pulling it apart again. Has any one had the same problem and found the fix. Am I supose to torque the front into the back of the timing cover before torqueing the head bolts??

Could be the oil seals around the glow plugs or fuel injectors.

I check the water pump gasket... looks like that would be easy to damage during a head install

It was a small o ring between the head and the back of the timing chain case that went to the hydrolic chain tensioner. Cheers for you help thou

The one the manual explicitly states "Dont drop this".... yea... we dropped it also
