well dont stop now! got videos where i swap out the rebuilt engine with an old one, and another where i add a HX40 turbo to the car

Thanks John, i am not att all knowledgeable around the mercedes engines, there are some super pro´s out there. Glad you like the videos anyhow and hope you can widthstand some volvo 240 videos coming out soon even tought they dont got a mercedes engine in them

thanks, i wouldnt "risk" renovating an engine like i did if it wouldnt have had half a million kilometers on it. But this one was a good kandidate. There are still risks that i havent torquied down everything as i should even tought ive testdriven it a 10-20 km. Time will tell. Thanks for commenting.

@@Foffe2000 btw a friend of mine is running a 606 with 770.000km and 597whp without any issues. I think it's cause compression is at sweet spot😂 He only changed main bearings before that build. That's just crazy!

@@ragnarlothbrok835 Yes that sounds pretty amazing. This engine probebly came from a car that where imported (second hand) from germany at some time. But there where signs of a previus timing-chain exchange and fairly high blow-by to the crancase and other signs of wear. So that a 77000km engine where up to the task of +500hp sounds pretty amazing. Maybe a car that been well taken care of.

thanks its very nice of you to say that, but when it come to mercedes engines a low milage and well serviced engine is better than anything someone actually put their hands on. there are no aftermarket parts that is better than the original ones and you are always haunted with the tought "did i torque everything down right". But its very nice of you to say that and i did give the engine a good cleanup at least

Thanks, i am right now trying to fit a ZF 5speed manual gearbox from a bmw onto the same engine. I will upload a video on that in a couple of weeks or so

Yeah those CO2 fire extinguisher are great for lots of stuff, and handy to have nearby if you cause a unintentionall fire to.

Hey John , sorry this video is from 2019 so its way to long time ago for me to remember, but i think i did line up alot of parts on the trunk of the car in one of these videos? You should be able to se the different brands on the part there, and i think the supplyer in 90% of the cases where random ebay-stores.

i think you can swap the automatic to a manual without a problem, but remember that you need the manual prop-shaft, flywheel, hydraulic clutch-pedal, brake-booster with a extra port for the fluid to the slave-cylinder etc. Theres lots of bits and pieces, so i hope you got a donour car parked nearby. I have never heard of a pre-chamber failure, just that they might benefit from a cleanup and some who have gotten the bigger pumps try to drill out the pre-chambers holes a bit. My guess is that you will be fine without touching those pre-chambers and if you are going to i recomend removing the head and just clean them without dissasembly (you can see how much hazzle it it to remove them in a head-renovation i did 2 years ago somewhere here on my channel) good luck with the trans-swap Robert

Nej mig veterligen finns det inga specifika motorböcker alls på mercedes personbils-motorer, däremot hade jag två olika modeller på "haynes" böcker för W124 och där stod dom moment som behövs vid renoveringen.

Hey Glenn, Dont mind the the text being long. Its easyer to understand your question that way. The Dieselmeken 7,5mm pump can run up to about 180cc if i remember correctly, Ive ordered mine tuned to 130cc wich i can later on adjust on some set-screws on the side to increase fuel delivery. And i think you are right about not running the engine without the turbo mounted, I did it in the test video you can find in my channel that i released just after this one, but i only testrunned it a few hundred meters around the house. Since i just cleaned out the pistons and the internals i dont want to get it all clogged up again. I cant make any promises but in order to meet your countrys emission laws at the very least i think you need to order the pump with the additional ALDA-system (wich they also sell if you tell them to). If you watch my video when i mount the engine in the car you can see me fiddle with the separate Alda-system there. Its a vacuum-actuated arm, the same as in the turbos with internal wastegate system. Without turbo pressure there is one set-screw on fuel delivery, on the second screw you can adjust the max fuel-delivery on boost. The maximum boost is adjusted on the vacuum-actuater. So make sure to order the pump with the ALDA-system attached, you will get an question on if you want it mounted horisontal or vertical. That you can choose depending on the space available on your car, I chosed the vertical one so that i could run the OFGEAR automatic transmission controller on the car later on. Thanks for the question and have a nice day Glenn

@@Foffe2000 Wow, thank you for such a quick response, and much useful information, love Dieselmekens work, I am running a 711.x merc; merc 5 speed so that needs to be taken in to account, thank you again, I think I have to get in touch with Dieselmaken and hopefuly they can understand my requests - my Swedish is non existent.

@@glennstocker487 Its the 722 gearboxes i am referring to. There is a guy in Denmark who makes standalone systems so you can run a modern 5speed transmission in any car. If you use this system you preferebly buy the throttle-sensor kit to, and it screws on to the back-end of the injectionpump (you can run the system without it) The Alda need to be mounted vertical to give room for this sensor. I have bought the system and hopefully will make a video on the installation it into the car somewhere in the summer next year.

@@Foffe2000 vertical alda does work with the of gear tps sensor, i have mine fitted to right now

@@darcyguerinhanlon3916 oh , well that was what i said? my english might be not understandable .. Glenn asked about the amount of smoke from the Dieselmeken 7,5mm and i said that he should go for the ALDA system that they can fit the pumps with at dieselmeken .. and that i chosed the vertical one to accomadate room for the throttle sensor for the ofgear kit in the future.. if he isnt going with that he can choose the horisontal version if that fits better in hes engine compartment.

Hello Armand, i go into dept on that on a engine head overhaul video on my channel i think its called "om603 engine head overhaul" and its not a part of this engine-series of videos. In that video i remove the collar and then use a home made tool to extract the prechamber, Thank your lucky star that you got the newer head with internal splines, i had the old type and ended up welding to get them loose and had to buy six new ones instead. Extracting the prechamber is the same kind of job on both the newer head and this old one.

@@Foffe2000 Thank you for your quick and very clear answer! Good news for the techno which is installed on my engine. So I'll buy that socket + the following tool which seems to be the good one to be used with a slide hammer to remove the chambers: www.amazon.fr/dp/B014EME2T4/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_S5K5QABZGSK45MDNS14A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Do you know if this tool is ok? Thank you very much!!!

@@armandh9287 yeah i think thats the only tool avaible to buy, i did make my own tool , i think it was like M30X1 thread. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gqefi5qnxpaugXk.html there you got the tool i used, i combined it as a slide-hammer to extract the last few millimeter.

@@Foffe2000 Really impressive the tools that you make! :-) Apparently your chambers were quite well blocked! Thank you for your helpful advices.

Hej Oskar, nej jag har inte något bra namn på dom där pinnarna, dom är ju relaterade till styrskenorna för kamkedjan om det kan vara nån ledtråd?

its a little bit to loong time ago for me to remember now, but i rarely put sealant on stuff where there is gaskets so i wouldnt think so.

@@Foffe2000 Thank you for replying. The thing is that the timing chain cover has no gasket. At around 11:41 min you seem to install it with some type of sealant, because there is something on the screwdriver after you use it to help lift the head gasket with it.

@@SomebodyIUseToBe Oh, i looked at the same part and tought since i had 2 bolts in from the get-go when i applyed it , that it would indicate that there was a gasket and i used the bolts to keep it in place. But right now your guess is as good as mine since i dont remember and i am just reviewing my own recording there. The upper part got a seal from the headgasket that pretrude all the way out to this cover, i scraped the skrewdriver along to make sure it would lay down correctly, as i remember it was quite thin and flimsy

where do you see that socket set? i am not sure on what you refere to

@@Foffe2000 From 9:55 to 11:13 looks like a socket set in a suitcase in the background. I could be mistaken.

jag minns faktiskt inte, men tror de var packning på tub om jag får gissa.

Halloj , merparten av momenten har jag tagit från haynes reperationshandbok för W124, den behandlar även dieselmotorerna. Kostnaden för boken är enligt mig blygsam och att ha en vanlig hederlig bok att bläddra i med oljiga fingrar känns mycket bättre än att smeta runt dessa på en touchpanel (padda, telefon etc) Så jag rekommenderar att köpa en sådan bok.

Hello, i do live in the upnorth of sweden. There outta be lots of people who know their way around the OM60X in Illinois

Hej Fredrik, Jag körde viktor reinz packningskit som även innehöll topp-packning. Att det fanns olika "versioner" av topp-packningen kände jag ej till. Trodde samtliga var lika eftersom en dieselmotor vare sig den har turbo eller ej går på väldigt höga kompressionstryck. Det var synd att jag inte kände till detta helt klart. Tack för info tar med mig det till nått framtida motorbygge.

@@Foffe2000 Ja jag har själv knäckt flera 603 'sug' packningar vid laddtryck över 1.5bar. Tills jag satte på riktig stål (mls) från 606.

@@thepunisher955 Tack för tipset, Blir ju troligen turbo framöver (därav dieselmekenpumpen) så det kan vara bra att veta.

Ja, jag tror jag pratade om det nånstans i nån av dom där videorna. Och den beskrivningen är utifrån att kammen står i övre dödläge. Men jag tycker du lika gärna kan kolla visuellt på vilka kamlober som pekar rakt ner mot lyftarna, där ska du spänna åt kamaxelöverfallet så nära dessa kamlober som möjligt. Tar du långt ifrån skapar du en onödig hävkraft som kamaxeln måste utstå. Samt att du även drar bultarna växelvis å inte för många varv på varje utan hoppa imellan å dra halv varv.

Yes, i think you can see me pressure-test the injectors in a previus video (part 2) with a rather bad result. I have overhauled injectors before and also got shims and some extra sets of used nozzles since before. But i think ill spring for a new set again rather than experimenting with my old sets. That will hopefully be a separate video maybe for the spring of 2020. Since i work outside and its freezing at night here now (winter is coming) i am not that keen on working on the car now.

Hello George, i am a silly Swedish boy. I can not fix your 350SD since i dont take on projects besides my own, but thanks for the confidence and i am hoping you will get your engine sorted, i also hope i get to own one of those 3,5 liter diesels one day.
