It *might* be possible to repair some cracks in the original 14 heads, Kaleb, but I doubt it would make a lot of sense to try. During the original production of the OM603 engines, which ran iirc thru m/y '95 there were no fewer than 5 revised castings introduced, the latest of which might have been even more recent. Any of these later production heads is more than likely to offer a much greater likelihood of reliable success than repairing a 14. There are currently 4 heads being offered for sale thru carparts.com that look to be likely replacement candidates. Three of these are listed at ~$700 which based on prior offerings is a very attractive price. Dunno anything about Carparts of Shelby (NC) which has posted these listings, though. PGA's usual price is $825.
