I don't have a dial gauge but I have the 603.971 beside a 603.961 and the protrusion of the 603.961 leaves no doubt. Consequently it's clear that the #1 rod of the 603.971 is bent forward.
Now to see if fitting a 603.961 block in a W140 is as straightforward as we figure.
Dang! That's some sweet torque I'll be giving up 
Thanks,

How about measuring that cyl for out of round and taper. Maybe you can replace rods and save that block? Just a suggestion but then you would not have to loose that torque and mess with fitting another engine.
