oil pan disaster, need advice. I have a 603 in my 81 SD and literally all it too was a bump on a curb and I was gushing oil. The design of these pans makes me sick, ive seen a dozen 300E cars at PNP with crashed pans. So anyway i bumped it pulling into a parking spot and raced home before I lost all my oil. I work out of this vehicle and its my bread and butter and besides the fact ill have to pull the 603 to even repair this, i need to find a hens teeth oil pan. My question: I sold my brother a 300E and him and his wife couldnt stop overheating it and finally seized it so im wondering if an M103 pan will fit a om603? I bet the bolts line up, but the oil pickup might be an issue. Anyone have any clue? Me and dieselkraut installed a 603 pan on a 606 so its obvious mercedes kept things similar in their straight sixes. Anyone have any knowledge on this?
