[diesel_mercedes] OM617 Injector Service

 


O.K., so I got skinned, lied to, cheated and stolen from some guy in S.C. and to add insult to injury, every 'rebuilt' injector he sent me, smokes .

So, I rustled up yet more old injectors and sent them to UDS in El Monte, Ca. .

To - day I finally drug out my pop tester and tested them all, one might pop a little bit low (a NA one) but no droolers and all have very nice spray patterns so I yanked out the old injectors on my '84 300CD and ran a compression test, #3 cylinder has 360# , all the others have slightly over 400# .

I installed five rebuilt injectors and fired it up, no cloud of smoke so maybe some progress here .

It has more power with less throttle and runs silky smooth off idle ~ it still lopes a bit @ idle, this is frustrating to say the least .

I had to stop 1/2 way through for an old friend's retirement luncheon and a nap, finished up and drove the car to Inglewood, it's better but that doggone lope...

Maybe to - morrow I'll pop test the injectors I yanked, they were supposedly rebuilt .

[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '82 240D Slushbox

 

379 miles, Diesel Kleen used, 21.3 MPG .

I left the car for it's first post rebuild checkup, they installed the copper washer I supplied to stanch the #4 IP delivery valve weeping and changed the oil, adjusted the valves, stepped the idle up a bit, maybe higher than I like, we'll see .

I don't know what happened to my fuel economy, maybe they leaked out some fuel as it was getting 24 MPG's, it's never gone this low before .

I filled it up with Propel HPR Biomass Diesel and we'll see what this tank full yields .

It certainly runs sweetly ~ vibrates a bit @ idle but is smooth as silk as soon as you touch the throttle .

Being an OM616 2.5 liter it's still rather leisurely when accelerating but I'm fine with that .
