Write-up or chronicle on OM602
 

Has anyone seen a write-up and/or pictorial on this? Did a search but got a sea of off-target results.

Question
 

What aspect?


.

Well, I suppose pretty much any part of the process. Top end, bottom ... any guidance at all. I'm looking to buy a long block and rebuild it from top to bottom.

Hmm
 

I need year and model for the correct service data.

Do you have the engine opened up, pictures of the damage would be appreciated, and helpful for estimating repair cost.

If the head is damaged, and you can't do 100% of the work?
You are looking at $5,000.00 - $7,000.00 USD.

You are looking at $2,800.00 - $4,000.00 USD in parts.

When I did my cylinder head, I found this video incredibly helpful:

And this collection of photos was also invaluable:

Remember that the 603 and 602 are essentially the same motors, so look for 603 sources as well.
