That would have been cool if MB did a 5 cylinder 606, maybe called a 605 and put it in the C-class...you probably would have gotten 40mpg or better in that thing, and it still would have been quick if turboed  |
It has a different valve cover, and electronic engine management. Also, the intake is like that of the 4-valve per cylinder versions: electronically metered.
Its the same as your 602, except for the artwork, and whatever else was needed to allow for direct injection (different pistons/injectors/no prechambers/high capacity pump, etc).
Sixto,
I've read reports of these things bending rods too. Never thought to compare the displacement to the 350. Exactly 5/6'ths, indeed. Now I know why there are problems. Somewhere on carsurvey.org I read about the issue (fellow over in east Asia, can't remember precisely where).
Not much information available about them, anywhere.
