OM617A engine questions

697 Views 0 Replies 1 Participant Last post by  sjtymko
Hello all,

I have an OM617A (from a 198? 300TD) engine swapped into my 1982 300GD Gelaendewagen and have a few questions/problems I am wondering if anyone can answer.

1. What should this engine rev to, I think my tach is reading wrong?

2. I am getting some unburned fuel coming out the tail pipe, any ideas why?

3. My rear main seal has a slow leak. How big of a job is it to fix?

4. What is the best weight of oil to use, any preferred brands?

5. I have a copy of the EPC compact, but don't have a code for the 123 chassis. Is it on this CD-rom?

Sorry for all the questions, I hope you can help me.

Steve
