Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Odds & Ends

 

Mark, in honor of your Autozone connections, I took 15 gallons of used diesel motor oil to our local store (they even made me pour it into the tank). While under both cars, I saw enough black gunk that I am going to try out an alleged "under car" car wash tomorrow and see if I can clean things up a bit. Got a box of stuff from former MB owner (Rich Olaveson) last Saturday - little bit of startron & MMO went in my wifes tank. Roof racks went on mine as I have to pick up dgtr and g'kids from Washington at the Ontario airport in a couple of hours. Was the "winning" bidder on some ebay things that Steffen put up for sale.

Heck, with all the new stuff plus all the old stuff, I think I will open up my own 300d auto parts store.

I earlier wrote on this topic that a one-time poster here, and acknowledged MB diesel guru, known as "Stretch", installed a turbo on a four-cylinder 240D.  Indeed, one of the things he did was to machine the holes in the block to drop in the piston cooler jets.  He did that because none of the four-cylinder cars ever had a turbo, and so neither the piston coolers, and he wanted to prove a 240D could be turbocharged without sacrificing reliability, if done correctly.  I doubt he would ever have considered installing piston cooler jets into a normally aspirated five-cylinder block in order to turbo it; there're just too many turbo-engines out there for cheap that are already properly set up.

But, to answer your question:  Yes, the normally aspirated and turbo blocks have the same crankshaft journals and oiling passages, but for the piston cooling jet holes.  In fact, the journals are even shared with the 240D....

So, what's wrong with this parts engine?

The 300D engine I have would it have the same oil journals board in it as the turbo engine I have found good parts so far I have a great running engine just trying to see if I can work with what I got, or keep up the R&D I have found a parts engine I can get all the stuff I may need to turbo this running car, well good luck with your projects.
