And then she went BANG! Anybody got a decent 603 head?
And then she went BANG!
 Anybody got a decent 603 head?  Oh well. I wondered out loud to y'all the other day about what other ham-fisted crap I was gonna find. The prechamber lock ring had been epoxied into a crapped-out hole. At least I got my 606 fan upgrade and new belt in and drove it a bit before it blew up.

Ouch, yeah you gotta wonder what some people are thinking when they work on their cars. www.car-part.com had one, may be worth a call down in GA

Oh man, what a shame.
Reminds me of the used 280Z I bought back in '90. Drove it for a year, then noticed something peeling off the block. I dropped the pan and saw a large piece of the block held in with JBWeld, which was now cracking from thermal cycles and stress.

What is funny is JB Weld advertises just such a use on the package. It is wonderful stuff, but I would not count on it fixing a cracked block.

Do a lot of work for propeller rebuilding service here in town. These guys are veritable welding/machining magicians.
When a dinged up bronze or alu. prop comes in, they cut off the damaged sections and build up new metal weldment; then machine, grind, contour, hand balance, computer balance, polish and once more on the balancer. If I can't find a decent head, I'll snatch this one off and have them fix it. They owe me a couple for some work I did a while ago.

Ahhh, just clean it up real good and use some more JB weld. Might slap some duct tape and bailing wire on top to beef it up.

yeah see if they cant fix the one you have. a new one will cost a pretty penny.
and this is mild compared the the E300 that came in the shop the other day, smoking, low compression on cyl 6- someone had jb welded the glow plug in and it was leaking compresion out from around it. jb weld on the cyl head around the head gasket and a broken off 1/4" extension jamed in the hole where the rail pin should be and jb weld around that.

I think that I have what you need. The motor has 230K miles on it, blown head gasket. I swapped it out for another engine. It came out of a 1994 S350 TD.
