OM603 with #10 casing?
There have been posts concerning the #14 series OM603 six-cylinder engine heads, and their apparent greater tendency to crack. However I'm looking at a car that has a number #10 as part of the casing number, and I'm mystified. I was under the impression that #14 was the original, flawed series on the OM603.
Any of you diesel maniacs have any insight into this mystery? Thanks, Peter4 |

The casting number that is referred to is the second to last group of two digits. Most of the heads have the last two digits as a "10"
The "14" would be the number just prior to the "10". It could also be a "15", or a "17" or a "22". |

Hay, maybe there is a #10, how is it that they started with the #14? Where is 13 12 11 10 9 and so on down, hmmmmmm???? BB

Mr. Carlton may have it right. I did specify to the seller to look at the two digits preceding the last two, but he may have misunderstood me!
It's amazing how quickly people respond on this forum. I think I was right to use the term "diesel maniacs." A Diesel Maniac |

Then again, Mr. Carlton might be wrong. The seller sent me the full number on the casing which is:
603 070 10 01. The mystery is still a mystery. Peter4 |

If the seller is looking at the proper place on the cylinder head, which is right above the #2 injector, below the crossover pipe (you need a mirror to read it properly), then you have definitely got a head that we have never seen before. If that is truly the case, go back and read post #3.
Just make sure he is reading the number off the head and not off the crossover pipe or somewhere else on the engine. |

Maybe the seller has bad eyes and is mistaking a 0 for 8? 14's were the original their is no lower number.
