In my quest for more power, I purchased this Brabus M103 head/cam package.  I picked it up very cheap and even with shipping from Germany, it was still a very good deal.  This is a Brabus rebuilt core head, Brabus has installed new rockers, valves, heavy duty valve springs, ported/polished the intake/exhaust ports, decked the head to increase compression and installed one of their performance camshafts.  I don't have all the details of what Brabus has done to this head and of course Brabus is not very corporative with providing information.  The Brabus part # is 02041/9909-0

This is another close up shot of the head!  Check out those springs!

Here is a picture of the the intake ports and you can see the port/polish




This picture shows the exhaust ports and the port/polish




The new valves.  Also, the hydraulic lifters have been replaced with mechanical lifters.




This is a new OE Mercedes camshaft oiler that came with the head.




The newest edition to the Brabus project, a authentic Brabus 3.6 valve cover

The cover needed a bit of clean up and from years of use, there was chips and scratches.  To top it off, the color was kind of a orange/red, so I cleaned up the head, prepped it and painted it a darker more brilliant red.  Also, the Brabus 3.6 logo is cut into the top of the valve cover and normally left unfinished (see first Brabus cover picture) the logo has a tendency over time to tarnish and it ends up looking rather poor, so after I painted the cover, I painted the recessed logo black.  IMO this looks much better.
