Hmm I heard it was taken from the 3.5L Diesel, oops.

Well, if it were derived from the 2.8, I'd be scared. Taking an engine like that and boaring out another .8L is unheard of. The cylinder walls must be so narrow... Oh well, personal opinion.

Thanks for the link and info! The pictures are nice, but the text looks like it was taken from an old Mercedes marketing pamphlet.

These engines are probably sleeved, so when boring out the cylinder, new sleeves are fitted. So the sleeves are probably just as thick as the sleeves in the 2.8L version of the engine.

Wyatt, you started this conversation in another train, but I left it.
It is not that the cylinder walls are thin, you must take into account the longer crankshaft throw...
In fact the cylinders are bored out very little, most of the 800cc is from the longer stroke, and a little bit in the larger combustion chamber.

Thanks for the info, Scorchie.

J62105: I didn't start this thread. You're right, I should take those items into consideration![:D]
I don't know as much about engines as you all apear to!
