What would be involved in changing heads and having this fixed

So if just finish changing all the rest and just leave that one disconnected everything will still be fine for time being? I plan on changing out the engine here in next years just wanted to actually be able to drive it and for time being.

Yep, your exactly correct. I had no idea how to use the tool and that exactly what I did and found out after I broke it that I was using it wrong. I even tried to find directions and the first directions just showed turning the large part.

I refrained all last night and this morning from asking this since there are so many posts on here about broken glow plugs but I am still lost on what to do and really feeling hopeless at this point. First, I removed the alternator out of the way to free up space and purchased the Kascar Glow...

Well previous owner claimed that one thing he actually did change was the box under the dash and that why it had to be the glow plugs. However, with all the other lies I am starting to not trust anything he says and will probably be worth checking. Also, where do I touch the two pieces to on...

One other comment , I did buy the grounding harness and installed it already as well as replaced the batteries and installed the battery cutoff switch. However, even with the battery cutoff and new batteries it has still been dead when tried to start it. I dont see how this is even possible with...

Also, is there anything else that would be worth changing out while removing the heads that won't be too expensive. Just figure since going through all the effort to remove the heads there are probably some other parts mines well replace as well. Also, are there any books on the diesel 6.2...

Alright, so I found the injector tool the 5060 Detroit Diesel Injector Socket now the only other tool will need for this project is a torque wrench. For this project what size torque wrench would you recommend 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2. I do have the harbor freight digital torque adapter that can put on...

I really think I may go ahead and give that a try and take the heads off myself. What is needed if I remove the heads? Should I just go ahead and buy a master rebuild kit? I really don't think removing the heads would be all that difficult just not sure what parts would need to replace if do...

Purchased a 1987 HMMWV at the beginning of the year after saving up for years to finally purchased one. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it before buying it since it was states away but called and spoke to the guy and was really friendly and guaranteed me everything worked perfectly. Well, it...

Yep started right up, I may have made a dumb mistake but glad took your advice and looked it up and found that first comment to check that it was in neutral or would have paid 200 for a tow to find it out. Plus at least now I don't have to sweat that something else is out on the vehicle. Thanks...

Wow I feel like a moron and think I may of found issue, just got to put everything back before I try it, but did as you said and searched the problem and the very first comment was check to see if it was in neutral and went out and check and all though it looked to be in Neutral and it wasn't in...

That's a real bummer the previous owner the one thing he did do was just put in a new glow plug controller and when I got it, it had a dead battery so purchased brand new one and other one was fine. Also, put grounding kit in as soon as I got it as well. Also, have been putting it on a battery...

So the past two days the weather has been around 40's and have started the car right up and drove it and had an appointment today to bring the car in to have the glow plugs changed out. So I parked the car in the garage and everything to be safe. Well, today I went out to take the car into the...

Well I just went out and started up to take a look at some other things and noticed the headlights are both coming on just fine however, it now seems that when switch it to high that the driver side comes on really bright however the passager side is really pathetic with barely any light coming...

I finally thought I had everything solved on this HMMWV I just recently purchased to then notice the front passenger headlight was not on. I pulled the headlight out and check the connections and appeared to be good and put the bulb back in. After moving it around it finally came on and it...

I was confused about the two grounds, I connected both of them to that same bolt on the back of the light enclosure that you can see in the top of the picture. The bolt that holds that metal plate across the two bolts on the back of the light enclosure. Is this correct, or do they need to go...

Alright, first thing tomorrow when get a moment will first check to make sure the bulb is still good in license plate then I will check the connections to make sure the metal pins are in. I appreciate all the advice. Also, the license plate instruction said to make sure it had a good ground or...

This is the final issue have on this Hmmwv just got a week ago. I installed the led taillight along with license plate with a light that connects in line with the taillight (I believe it was plug 21). Well, I reconnected everything the exact way the original light was connect on driver side but...

Sorry dont know the exact terminology but it was basically making cranking noises but wasnt actually fully starting. So was thinking it was related to that bolt that broke on the starter and had to rig another one. However, I went ahead and had wife spray the ether into the intake thing right in...
