Casting # for OM602.911 head

R 602 116 02 01

This is the number on the head of my non-turbo '86 5 cyl 2.5

Are there any surprises that I should know about before I have this thing rebuilt?

Thanks in advance,
- geoff

Best to have the job done by someone who knows aluminum MB Diesel heads.

I'd need a ton of recommendations to accept a repair on the head such as welding cracks. If it were mine and it had cracks, I'd get a new casting or one from Metric Motors (www.mercedesengines.net).

Spring for valve stem seals from the dealer rather than aftermarket or even OEM and make sure exhaust seals go on exhaust valves.

Parts ain't cheap.

Hopefully we're not dealin w/a crack here - maybe just a failed HG. Have been reading FSM articles on 601, 602, & 603 and one article talks about porous cast aluminum in the area of the front cyl/chain housing that is unfixable. Rebuilts are hard to find around here - if necessary will get one from metric (ouch).
Good advice on dealer parts - I will make sure our shop here understands that. I have set aside about $3K for everything just in case. That is until my wife finds out...
