WTB OM603 cyl head

Gus, my friend who rebuilds injection pumps, is in need of a cyl head to replace the #14 cracked in his newly acquired wagon. I will forward whatever might be available to him, he said he was inclined towards a new head (as in dealer order) but I suggested he consider a used ser# 18 or 22 with angled injectors, even off a 350 so, whats out there?
DDH near San Franpsycho, CA.

yes. A few weeks ago he was in Switzerland, I couldn't catch him then last week I stopped by and he said he wanted a 124 wagon. A couple days later and he had one! Its red. Do you know Gus, if so can you picture him in a red 124 wagon? oh well you get what you get, I got a black S350D. I said I'd never buy a black car now I need pimping lessons

I have a good #14. If hes willing to put a deposit I'll have it cleaned and pressure tested on my dime and if it comes back with any problems he can have the deposit back. $600

If he is feeling brave, this is the lowest price I have ever seen on a OM603 head:
Mercedes Benz Cylinder Head 1987 300 SDL Turbo Diesel Used | eBay

Seller claims it is in "good" condition and is fully operational. Hmmmm?

My 1987 300TD wagon was sold and my 2003 W210 E320 wagon was totaled (sheds tear).

No longer needed

I thought I would put some closure on this thread, Gus bought a new head and sent it to Metric Motors along with his short block. They did a beautiful job of rebuilding the engine, it almost looks like a factory crate engine
