Hi!

Should be somewhere behind 2nd injector... Bit hard to spot on turbo engine.

Mine is no number.that space is EMPTY!


RE: No head casting number on my om603 - DiseaselWeasel - 12-29-2014

Also nothing behind injector 5&6?? That is indeed weird...


RE: No head casting number on my om603 - tricipiti - 12-29-2014

Nothing......im geting complete crazy!

Hmm - any signs of grinding?? I have seen heads where cutting tools from manufacturing took away SMAL parts of the number... But the whole number seems unlikely!

However, there's at least a way to tell if it is a Turbo or n/a cylinder head. Without the number... Smile

Its from a TURBO.
Near dieselfilter i can read:

9 7171450

Also the number place is complete plain

Any advice?

In the absence of a casting#, it's safe to assume it's an extremely rare, high performance prototype.


RE: No head casting number on my om603 - tricipiti - 01-06-2015

maybe is an aftermarket head?


RE: No head casting number on my om603 - DiseaselWeasel - 01-06-2015

I don't know of any aftermarket heads...

Have you looked under the valve cover??


RE: No head casting number on my om603 - tricipiti - 01-06-2015

yes,there is no number..nothing..

Very interesting. I know the 605 was license to ssyong perhaps the 603 was licensed as well to a similar company and this is one of those?

I remember that my father goes to some mechanic to change head in 2008,because its break.
He told me that its a new head.
I have the space of the casting number,but its empty
