A friend of mine has an Om617 in a Gwagen that he wants to sell . Unfortunately it uses water and oil appears in coolant. Now this engine was running well untill cam chain broke. Engine was repaired at great expense ( ~$5000 ) but has used water ever since. Now he has taken head off the engine and all appears OK - not pitting , no cracks visible. I would be interested in the head if it proves to be sound but the question is how to tell without doing a pressure test. Oh another thing - 3 of the cyl head stretch bolts nearest the ip show signs of heat damage - blue discoloration - never heard of that one before !
