I need to find a head for my 1987 turbo diesel. The car is not worth the price of a new head but i don't want to junk it. Does anyone have a good head for sale?

Search the threads for a Spanish head. I think I read something about a company making aftermarket heads that ran around $800.

Check it out first.

(I have no personal experience on this, but may someday...)

www.car-parts.com has two listed, one off an 87 603 and one off of a 94 603. The 87, they want $1,000.00. You have to call for the other one or two listed. There is a place in Columbus, MS (Cylinder Head Exchange or something similar) that advertise if you call them that they can fix that head for about $300.00 if all they have to do is fix the crack and finish out the valve job and resurfacing the face. The valve seals are extra, I think. A while back, you had a good selection of choices to find a head at the car-parts.com site, but for some reason, the heads have dried up.

Check out this thread. I have yet to purchase the head so I can't give you any feedback. If you do purchase a Spanish head, please let us know how it goes.

Does anyone have an aftermarket 603 head?
