Does anyone have an updated head laying around . My #14 head just went south on my sdl and i was trying to revive it on the cheap. I'm not looking forward to pulling the head off but this is what i must do to keep it alive.


Thank you

I just joined the forum. Long time lurker.

Not sure if my '82 240D has the same motor/head. I pulled the motor in 9/2013, it ran very strong with 199K. Car was so rotted I was able to put my hand through the floor in multiple spots.

I can pull the head today and take pictures if it will be usable to you.

BEST to email me directly: anthonycutlass6@yahoo.com

He's looking for an OM603 engine head, not what you have.

They pop up on ebay sporadically, not as expensive as some would claim.

How did it crack specifically?

I have a #17 head, which is the upgraded replacement for a cracked #14.
I also have injector lines for either straight #14 or angled #17 and up heads (highly recommended when replacing a #14 head, bending lines to fit is not a good idea).
I might have a set of cleaned injectors too - I clean these with ultrasonic cleaner AND a hard to find Bosch mechanical diesel injector cleaner set .

PM me details

Also: I usually have a 17# head and injector lines available, so at any time if anyone is looking anytime in future, PM me.
