Exhaust Manifold stud - access?

Looks like you may have to strart at the exhaust and work up from there till you remove the Turbo, and get the manifold off out of the way.

Managed to get the head off! Turbo stayed bolted to exhaust pipe but off the manifold (too many difficult to get at pipe connections etc).
Sadly, the head has a small crack - that's why it blew the head gasket it seems....
:(
Specialist opinions vary over the phone if the head is repairable...
So if anyone knows of a head or a TD27 engined wreck somewhere, I'd appreciate the info in the meantime!

Can someone tell me which vehicles that were officially imported into Aus ran TD27 engines - and if the TD27t (turbo) is any different from the TD27 (normally aspirated)? I mean in terms of castings and gaskets.

Cheers,
Joe

I think (and I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong J ) it is basically the same motor as the Navara as a lot of parts are interchangeable. I would go to a Nissan workshop to check to make sure.
