The heads are not a problem provided the engine is not overheated. 603s will last as long as a 617 if cared for. They are the overall better engine when all driving conditions are considered and the 87 124d's are perhaps the best Mercedes diesel given they are not as heavy as the 126.

...that never stopped you before j/k

I wonder if the racers have a longer range for fewer pit stops, that could be an advantage.

The 603s also have hydraulic lifters and do not need valve adjustments, not that the 617 valve adjustment is a super big deal but it's not a chore for the six cylinder engine. That combined with the greater power, smoother operation, and overall ruggedness the 603 was the overall better engine.
