My W201 '90 190E 2.5-16 Merc Cossie has burned completely the head gasket, and the cylinder head is completely twisted!!! <IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"></P>


I'm trying to get a used one, but the recovered ones come with the complete engine, and mine has only 88.000 Km! I wouldn't like to have the whole engine changed as mine is in perfect shape (except, of course, the cylinder head)</P>


I am in Spain, and I would like to know if anyone knows any resource to get any recovered cylinder head I could use in my merc (and if it's cheap, better) (in Europe). Original ones cost one eye, one ear and half my heart.</P>


Thanks in advance.</P>

 

you should take the head to an engine machining workshop. maybe they could skim the mating face of the cylinder head to make it seal properly agian as you do when that happens. i cant understant how it has actually twisted, has a head bolt sheared off or something?
