I'm try to get together all required tools etc for a 200tdi rebuild from new short block up.
Are there effective work arounds for the special tools/pullers for crank and camshaft gear removal? Will steering wheel puller work? What did you use if not the "proper" tool?
A good torque wrench. Don't use a drive extension as it fowls the actual torque applied to the head bolts. Use a deep socket if additional clearance is desired. IMO, most early head gasket failures are because drive extensions were used.
You will also need a 3/8 or 9mm drill bit. A 3/8 torque wrench as specified above. A tube of black rtv. A tube of arp three sealant for the wp bolts. A tube of antiseize. You will need a beam or gauge style torque wrench as well to do the timing belt tensioner adjustment. A tube of moly assembly grease would also help, I put it under rhe pulleys and under the Lash caps.
Also get the pressure plate turned/broached and remove the locating pins, so you will need new pins.
