6-cylinder OM603 350SD turbo diesel. We have to advice against the
350SD because of its tendency to develop cracks in the cylinder
head. Best buy is the 300SDL, both because of the long wheelbase
option and the better performance (145 HP against 120 HP of the
OM617).
So, this car I looked at supposedly had a bad head gasket, this
seems to suggest cracking head could be a problem. Anyone have an
(relevant) opinion? If I got this thing would it be a boat anchor,
or if the head is indeed cracked, would a good one be findable?
300SDL heads crack, 350SDL rods bend. 350 heads on 300 bottoms
is what works.
