Re: [diesel_mercedes] Ticking sound

 

Do these engines have a centrifugal advance mechanism? My old 59 190D had one, it rattled a hell of a lot and a Mercedes mechanic told me not to worry about it after I had bought a new one. Nate and I had this conversion a few years ago when the subject came up.If anybody needs one I might be able to find it after 35 years in the shop. Max

It certainly sound like an engine sound, but I suppose it could be transmitted through the engine.

Thanks,

Hi,
I recently did a purge along with the valve adjustment.

I am not able to isolate it with a listening device as the sound is most prevalent when the engine is under load. Sitting in the shop with no load it is not really making any strange noise. When I rev it up, it is barely noticeable and I'm not able to tell where it is coming from.

The noise does seem to be louder when the engine is cold.

Thanks for the comments so far!

Kevin
