Howdy,

Long story short, my timing belt shredded on my way to get it replaced (had a diesel leak that must have gotten on the belt material) so now I may need a 1.9TD head.  The van is at my mech (I have no shop space) and is being torn apart right now to assess the damage. 

My engine is a 1.9TD code ABL which was imported from Europe/UK and installed in my 82 DV Westy.  This engine was used in the Eurovan in the UK/Europe from 1997 to 2002. 

I'm hoping that most 1.9 TD heads of that vintage are similar enough for me to be able to use one from an AAZ or compatible.  Not sure what the damage is right now, but I thought I'd see what's out there in the meantime. 

I'm located in Seattle and am willing to drive to Vancouver, BC or Portland to pick up a suitable part.  Can pay for shipping if needed.

Let me know what you've got.  Thanks for your help in advance.

Cheers,
Marco
