OM602 Transplant Possible?
I have a 2004 Dodge Sprinter with an OM602 engine in it that just bent a rod at about 350K miles. Have only owned it about a year, and I do not know how diligent prior owner was with preventative maintenance.
I was quoted prices beginning at $5600 parts + $1000 labor to replace. My question - would an OM602 from a 300D (or a 190D-T) be a suitable transplant candidate? Any other ideas? No way I can afford to spend $6600 to get this running again...

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but...aren't the sprinter engines common rail?
I really don't think you have the correct engine number. Why would they be using an older indirect injection diesel engine in the sprinter?

I entered the VIN on the Russian website, and this is what it shows for engine entries:
Engine 647981 50 866079 engine OM602 de29la 75KW (102 ps) 3400 rpm (с 24.01.1997) I know virtually nothing about these engines, so I don't know if it's single rail or not... Does the info above tell you anything useful?

I meant common rail, not single rail...
My cold medicine is making me foggy...

With that said, I'm no sprinter expert.
