Was driving around town yesterday when I spied an '87 300Dt for sale ($7900,
200K, although looks very very nice, esp the new wheels). I called back today,
out of curiosity, to ask the head #. Salesman wasn't quite sure where to look,
so I did my best to explain and he gave me this:
P (maybe R) 6030181101
Is that a #18 head...or is this not the right number?
I am assuming that all OM603's share the same head & gasket issues.
An original head would have a casting number that reads like THIS: 603
016 14(or 15) 01. The updated number is 603 016 17 01 (or some number
greater than 17).
The number is on the head between the #2 and #3 injectors (the 603 may
be partially obscured).
