Ignoring leaks on a 606 and "fixing" other things first is a cardinal sin.....

All 60x DV's are the same so I felt it might be applicable.

As you said, pumps just don't go bad that often.......they usually outlive the engine.
That's a bummer! I'm sure the head rebuild wasn't cheap!

I hope to someday own a 606 turbo. I'd like to put one in a w210 or 124 wagon.

Seems like a great engine other than the fuel issues and K40 Relay. But those are small problems.
