Description
Mercedes-Benz OM646 Cylinder Head Semi-Assembly – Valves Pre-Installed
This OM646 cylinder head semi-assembly is a brand new, factory-fresh cylinder head built to OEM standards. It comes with the valve train components pre-installed, including intake and exhaust valves, valve springs, valve stem seals, spring seats and retainers. You simply transfer your existing camshafts, hydraulic lifters and external accessories from your old head – saving time and labour during installation.
