Warped heads were common on the Iltis towards the end. If you needed a head, then often as not you changed the engine as heads were no longer available.

The pressures of an operation would also often lead to a straight engine swap, as some of the problems that could crop up during a simple head gasket replacement could tie you up for days. I am not saying that it was the correct way to fix the problem, just that it was often done.

There should have been 2 rainbow tags; one on the outside of the crate and one inside, detailing why the engine was pulled.
