Re: [diesel_mercedes] OM617 Turbo Removal

Whaa...?! You must be magic...!

As for Mercedes, the W116 300SD service manual, section 07.1-200, clearly states,

"(Step) 7 Unscrew all engine oil lines at oil filter body, releasing clamps for this purpose."

"(Step) 8 Unscrew and remove oil filter body from crankcase (18-110)."

"(Step) 9 Withdraw injection pump from crankcase."

https://handbook.w116.org/Engine/617/07_1-200.pdf

I tried for nearly an hour to get my pump off the first time, before I resigned myself to the fact I HAD to remove that oil filter assembly. On four-bangers, it's not necessary; but on the fives, it is.

On a related note, as I was installing the IP onto the engine going into the Jeep, I discovered that the seal around the plunger part of the ALDA valve, uh, diaphram(?) was trashed, and probably has been for some time. I wonder how it is on the engine in my '79 SD....

Neither Mercedes nor I find it necessary to remove the oil filter to change the injection pump....

I thought we did much better than I thought we would.

I did find one broken spring, but the seat overall is in much better shape than what I have now. Also, it's been surprisingly therapeutic to clean all the grime off the seat and watch the original color come back into view. I pulled it from a white 240D; even after all my cleaning, it's still a greenish-off-white? Weird color, but nice and firm.

> Maybe stuff some pool noodles in the 240D seat you son bought as a prophylactic measure.....

I was thinking the same. The 240D seat is for my 300D; Son got the fully functional Palamino W126 power seat--which also cleaned up nicely and installed easily.

> So far, of the dozens of used injectors I've bought / scavenged/ found, only two were any good so I'd not pay for them apart from buying a set of spares to be used as cores....

That's my intent. I expect I'll have to rebuild any/all of these injectors, but from the ragged idle of my engine, even with nicely adjusted valves and clean fuel filters, I'm guessing my current ones aren't in great shape, so I figured I'd rehab these, put new nozzles on them, and swap them in.
