M104.990 Block with M104.981 Cylinder Head
During the disassembly of the M104.981 from my 129 I discovered that the block is damaged and can not be used. After I cried a little an idea came to mind: I have a low mileage M104.990 from a w140. Id like to use the block from the .990 while keeping the KE-jet in place using the .981 head and intake manifold.
I've done some research and this is what I found:
1. I will have to use the M104.981 oil pan in order for it to fit in the 129 thus I will have to use the .981 oil pump as well
2. I will need the M104.981 water pump as the .981 head does not have the front cooling port
3. I will need to use the .981 timing chain.
Now,
Assuming the head will bolt to the block..
Which headgasket to use?
I will appreciate any input
