Have been reading forum on cylinder head number chart. Does last 4 digits need to matched or it is running numbers? I have ask my mechanic to look at the numbers on my car and it reads 1270160005. Not sure how to match with the chart.  Please advise.

Are you sure it's a 230SL head?  It could be a 220SEb head if there are no holes for fuel injectors.

Hi Srisant.
Sorry to read your issues, have a 250sl head if you cannot locate Asia.

Kind regards
