[diesel_mercedes] Re: Doing some R&D need your help

 


The difference in the CR *may* in the cylinder head , I don't know .

You best & easiest bet is to find a beat up or rusted out / wrecked 300SD from 1979 or so and yank the engine out of it ~ if you do a valve adjust then compression test first ,you'll be able to pick a good used engine up cheaply as they're scattered all across America .

SD's all have the turbo charger and the engine built for it .

It's not sponsored by M-B N.A. and it is not the Mercedes Museum at The Classic Center ~ that's just where the initial meet up is .

That's because the non turbo engines don't have them.....

The good news is : once you've tuned it to the Nth degree , you can flat foot it all day long and it'll go like stink and get decent fuel economy too .

Just remember : Diesels _DO_ need regular tune ups and maintenance or they'll become unreliable money pits .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Doing some R&D need your help

 

The Mercedes web site said in early 1979 that were have sluggish problems so around September they added the turbos I'm looking at one of theses very cars there is no sprayer no splasher on the rod all it had was an oil cooler which I have. I'm looking to overhaul this engine before I try any kind of boost how hard it it going to be to find new piston? With the right compression.
