Mercedes Sprinter T1N Cylinder Head – Genuine OEM | OM647 2.7L 5-Cylinder | #6470100420 (2004–2006)

DESCRIPTION:

A warped, cracked, or failed cylinder head on the T1N Sprinter's OM647 is one of the most significant engine repairs you'll face — and doing it right the first time means starting with the correct, factory-spec head. This is the Genuine Mercedes-Benz OEM cylinder head for the 2004–2006 T1N Sprinter with the OM647 2.7L 5-cylinder diesel, precision-machined to factory tolerances and ready for professional installation with a new head gasket set and head bolt kit.

What This Part Does

The cylinder head is the upper half of the engine — it houses the combustion chambers, intake and exhaust ports, valve train, injector bores, and coolant passages. It seals against the engine block via the head gasket to contain combustion pressure, separate coolant and oil circuits, and direct airflow in and out of each cylinder. A warped or cracked head allows coolant into the combustion chamber, combustion gases into the coolant, or oil into both — causing white smoke, overheating, milky oil, and progressive engine damage.

Common Reasons for Cylinder Head Replacement

• Head gasket failure from overheating that warped the head surface
• Cracked head from severe overheating or freeze damage
• Corroded coolant passages beyond cleaning or repair
• Full engine rebuild requiring new head for optimal compression
