So i noticed here the other day a faint coolant smell on my 87 300D, i didnt see anything nor has it lost hardly any if at all. Not terribly worried till i noticed the rad hose was rather firm. Crap. It was still warn so i checked this morning before starting it, still firm, and poped the cap and released a nice puff of pressure. Im a technician so i know all to well where this is headed, literally. Its a #14 head with 230,000 miles on it. Its been real hot here lately too. I checked it out before i got it and it was ok but i think the added heat stress may have done it in. If it comes apart, a #14 head is not going back on, even if it were a gasket. So, anyone have a good reasonably priced updated 603 head?
Thanks, Chris
