Re: [diesel_mercedes] Head experts...your insight please

 

Ben,

No experience with MB heads, but:

I would remove the glow plug chambers and try to clean them.  If they do not clean up, I would replace them.

I would replace all the glow pugs while it is easy.

I would clean all the carbon off the head and try to figure a way to test the valves (If you don't have a better way - turn the head so the ports are up, pour gasoline in each port, and see if the gas leaks out.)

I would clean all the carbon off the pistons, but be careful not to get the carbon bits into the engine.

Lots of work - good luck.

Bobby

Well got the head off the donor car today (recall needing to R&R the head on a 1979 W116 300SD). First time doing this so...

If the experts would care to gander at the photos and give me their feedback, I'd be ever so grateful!
