617 turbo head N.O.S -$400

I bought this new from metric motors for $1100 in 2010, installed it, and ran it about 8000 miles before the transmission blew.

This was a N.O.S. Mercedes head, and I still have the box it came in from Germany.

Newly installed on the old engine:


Current state




Some carbon deposits on the surface

Is this head correct for a wagon, or only for a sedan...? (I'm out of my element here but thought there was something different about wagon heads related to hydraulic pump....)

I don't see anything that would be different in the head for a wagon, but I'd wait for one of the wagon experts to weigh in.

The head that your selling is not a wagon head. It does not have the SLS pump provision. It's only used for non-SLS vehicles.

Sounds like a hell of a deal. I would buy it if it were for a wagon...

Out of curiosity, when is a new head needed? I've got a 617 turbo with nasty piston slap but otherwise good performance...wonder if it could be saved...
