number 4 has been rusty in the past yeah, and its been the hardest of the 4 plugs to remove. the ceramic bit was also badly discoloured. | |

When mine went i'd got the head off and i could not get no 4 plug out and it hadnt been in there that long. In they end decided shit or bust and put airgun on it. Luckily came straight out without touching the threads! | |

im thinking, i'll know if it needs skimmed when i take it off, just by looking at it. | |

best get it skimmed whilst its off, to be on the safe side, just think if you put it all back on and 2 days it has too come back off. | |

I didn't skim mine when the gasket went. Wasn't any need. Just get a steel ruler and a torch and see if the light shines through. Best to check, but if its not overheated and you can see simply how the gasket has failed then it should be ok. | |

my cylinder head is coming off tomorrow (1.4 16v) to have a new gasket. its only been leaking water into the cylinder, and i havent let it run hot, altho its reached max on a few occasions for a few mins.is there any need to skim the head (obviously it needs to be checked) or will i get away without it? |
