Is B230K head ok for 240GL U9 that needs new cylinder head?

Hi there,
My 240 GL 2.3 U9 (LPG) 1990 has a spark plug that has a stripped of screw thread.
I have found a seller of a B230K cilinder head, but do not now for sure wether it fits a 240GL 1990 2.3 (Petrol & LPG)
Please anyone can confirm (or contradict).

Kind regards,
Henning

Unless your engine is a B230K with the EGR it will not fit.

If you have K jetronic fuel injection you will need a B200 or B230 E head
If you have the later electronic injection then you will need the F head

The 240 GL 2.3 U9 (LPG) of 1990 originally has a cilinderhead for a B230F engine.
If you're still looking for a cilinderhead :I have that one in stock.

The 230K is a "Heron" head, being completely flat with no combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is in the piston crown. So no, it will not fit.
