Best engine Mercedes Benz ever made! Inline five cylinder turbo diesel! I own a 126 1983 300SD. My favorite car! Will never sale either! Most of my parts came from LKQ junkyards and online mail order parts houses. Nothing local! I still get 23 mpg on an engine with over 300,000 miles! And easy to work on, no computer crap!
Getting closer to the end of the rebuild jtwoods coming along nicely done with manual nearby a smart way to be rite on Th money thanks for your information and videos good luck with rest of it ron rdzl om616
This video took me soo long to find I'm working on my 1982 mercedes benz 300sd turbo diesel an I been doing a whole engine swap an I haven been looking for this for soo long thank you for the help
Hope this isnt a dumb question lol, but what book are you guys looking at in the beginning of the video? is that just a Mercedes repair manual? currently tearing down my first 617 for my w123 and anything helps. Thanks!
Go ahead and install them on the engine and then push them through their full travel you will know if they're the wrong length. At resting position they should not be pulling on any parts but then as soon as you pull on the throttle linkage they should immediately tighten up.
That is not something you should need to adjust sounds like there may be another issue that needs to be resolved. That should be adjusted correctly from the factory unless someone has tampered with it.
I got videos on my UA-cam channel on a lot of work on a w126 Mercedes. I've done this job three times on jack stands in my yard however I never made a video on it
I have it in PDF format in the downloads section of the website. You can take that PDF file to a FedEx Kinko's and ask them to print it and bind it for you. Or you can just find an original om617 manual on eBay. www.woodsandbarclay.com
@@woodsandbarclay It seems like that section on your site is broken. I looked on 3 different browsers on my laptop and also tried with my desktop. I looked at both the w126 and w123 and it wouldn't show anything. Could I email your info email from your website and possibly be sent the manual pdf for a w126?
Now you sound normal it's just weird hearing yourself. Took me awhile to get used to it too. Spent 3 hours rebuilding injectors last night with new monark nozzles. Now I just need to find a starter!
It really depends on the quality of the aluminum piece. Please give me a little detail about what the part is. A cheap cast aluminum part could potentially strip with a bunch of blue loctite on the bolt. However a high-grade forged aluminum piece will not.
Ive been into mercedes diesels since i was a teenager. Thanks for the videos. Good refresher. Im going to rebuild another OM 617 turbo on my 300 td Youre right, no one has rebuild videos, Ive found that rebuilding this engine is a little intimidating to some folks. Used to be you couldnt find a complete rebuild kit. Could you tell me where you got yours. Ive taken the advise of old timers when they say your defeating the longevity of the engine when you dont rebuild them with OEM mercedes parts. Most of the old timers say not to use aftermarket internal parts. Opinions vary on this though.
There are no rebuild kits for these engines if you look on my website there's a section where you can download a complete parts list for all the parts that I ordered. Pistons are not manufactured anymore so the only way to get replacement Pistons is to have them custom made. However the parts list on my website will show you every part number and where I ordered it as seen in these videos.

Use a small chisel to hammer a mark into the mount and injection pump. Remove the pump and make sure you don't turn the pump input shaft. Then to install it just line your marks up.

Awesome 😎
Thanks for this video. Very helpful to get a clear view of all of this before getting to it on my own car.
You're welcome, glad you found it helpful!
It's so nice to se work done on a clean engine

Yes it is the Mercedes engine manual for the OM 617. I had a PDF and I just took it to Kinko's and had it printed out into a binder
You can download the PDF engine manual from my website just go to the downloads section.
@@woodsandbarclay great! Thanks!
I cannot find a resource for the throttle linkage specifications. I mean the lengths and measuring points for the several threaded linkage rods.
Go ahead and install them on the engine and then push them through their full travel you will know if they're the wrong length. At resting position they should not be pulling on any parts but then as soon as you pull on the throttle linkage they should immediately tighten up.
Great job, thanks for sharing...
Thanks for rebuilding the injection pump it's beautiful!
If I turn the full load stop screw on the injection pump will that increase fuel?
It will only increase fuel if it's adjusted incorrectly to start with. Once it has the maximum supply of fuel you cannot make it get more.
That is not something you should need to adjust sounds like there may be another issue that needs to be resolved. That should be adjusted correctly from the factory unless someone has tampered with it.
@@woodsandbarclay I’m just wanting to get as much fuel out of the pump as possible
@@andrewcampbell5258 if your engine is healthy and running good your zero to 60 times should be somewhere between 13 and 15 seconds.

Man that sounds like a really tough job on jack stands!
where can i buy the spacer to set pop pressure???????????????? please help
Contact Mercedessource.com they sell an assortment of them
Ask for information, sir. camshaft gear m127 tightening force how many newtons
I'm sorry I do not know that information, but you should be able to find it in the engine service manual for that specific engine.
Where did you get your service manual?

@@woodsandbarclay Ahhhh I see. I apologize! Thank you so much!
So 80 was the last year for American 5 cylinder diesel?
No 1985
Thank you
God! I always sound like Micky Mouse on video.. lol. Can't wait to see this run, your getting so close.

Thanks for video buddy. I know that injection pump mounts with 3 bolts on the side flange. Where is fourth bolt attaching to?
Man it's been awhile since I made this video I would have to go look.
I have a problem with my engine 617 it loses power sometimes and sometimes it doesn't, what is the problem 😕
The most common problems are clogged up fuel filters. There are three of them two up at the engine and one in the tank.
Is blue lock tight to much for aluminum

@@woodsandbarclay when you were installing the vaccum control valve bolts I was just wondering

ive got a bad oil leak where the injection pump meets the motor... is there a procedure for removing the pump without ruining timing? thanks
Use a small chisel to hammer a mark into the mount and injection pump. Remove the pump and make sure you don't turn the pump input shaft. Then to install it just line your marks up.
do you have a video on adjusting the VCV ?
I'm sorry I do not
So that’s a $2000 injection pump. The only place that sells em as refurbished is $2-2.5K!
That is correct.
How to adjusy fuel.screw?
I'm sorry I don't understand your question. It was a while ago when I did this video but I don't remember adjusting a fuel screw.

I'm glad the video is helpful
