I've recently come across some unsubstantiated information that would imply that the 6 cyl diesel in the 1986/87 300SDL (and others, I presume) has a less than stellar history in terms of cylinder head integrity. According to the information I have read, cylinder heads on these engines are prone to developing cracks. Are there any Mercedes shop owners/techs in this forum that can enlighten me?
