The waterpump for a euro M110 is not the same as a USA spec engine.
I agree with Tom, budget for a headgasket..... M110 heads are also more of a ***** to do than most, it's a two piece head. Cams can go bad as well.
That engine should be smooth as silk, with 185hp, it's a wonderful car when running right.
Drove an 81 280E grey market car for a number of years, loved it!
