Re: [MBZ] Post Falls SL
Cleaned, lubed, and adjusted the throttle linkage. That takes awhile! While I was there I noticed that the cruise control actuator rocked on its two mounting bolts. Two bolts? Aren't there three? Turns out the bracket on the bottom for the third bolt was missing, and I think that could possibly result in it having difficulty regulating the speed, depending on the axes of pull versus unintended rotation. I fabricated a new bracket out of some scrap metal, and I even welded a captive nut to it so that it was more like the missing original. That actually didn't take that long to do.

Oil is fine as long as you are sure that you have a good coating during assembly. The risk with oil is that so much may run or drip off that that you don't have a good oil film in the bearing. But this is not likely if you oil then assemble right away. A lot of people like assembly lube because you can verify visually that there is enough on the part.

[MBZ] Changing ATF and Filter 190D
My thought today was that I would go the easy, less expensive route and change my tranny fluid, but not the filter. I want to get it done, and not wait for shipping on the filter. So were I to attempt this, I asume that the only way, barring suction, to remove fluid is to loosen the pan bolts and let it drain out a corner of the pan? Question is: if I do this, is the gasket likely to perform its duties hereafter? AND: If I go ahead and change the filter, and simply buy one from the local Napa store, can I trust that they will sell me a good brand? If I have a choice of brands, which is better?

Re: [MBZ] OT: AC Gauge set
Yea, I could do it that way. Right now, I have a set of R12 guages I am using with 134 high and low sides connectors. The R12 center line will hook to the machine. If I want to ad refrigerant from a 134 tank, I take one of the lines off of a different guage set which seems to fit both size fittings and that works. Would rather just get an adaptor for the machine and do it the right way though. May end up just selling this R12 machine and buying one already setup for 134 --- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] OM603 camshaft installation-success!
Should be fairly easy to rotate a 603 -- if quite stuck, something is very wrong. I would remove the cam and make sure you have #1 on TDC. Check the installation, too -- if you got it sorta cocked, it may not turn because it's bound. It's not hard to turn the cam with a large screwdriver inserted between the hub and locating pin.

Re: [MBZ] OM603 camshaft installation-success!
Well, something has to be stopping it all from rotating. The timing chain goes around the injector pump, vacuum pump, crankshaft and then the camshaft. There are a few chain guides too - the two between the injector pump and the camshaft just site there, while the one on the other side applies pressure to tension the chain. Maybe loosen the chain tension and see which still have some wiggle in them? You can get to the injector pump gear underneath the vacuum pump. -Dave Walton On 8/10/07, Luther [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sure, but it's how I set the valves on my OM617s AND how I set this engine to TDC before I removed the old head.

Re: [MBZ] Changing ATF and Filter 190D
If you go through the web site @ Rusty, they ship from the Lynnwood Worldpak warehouse and you get it in 24 hours. At least that has been my luck. When I call, I get long time shipping. That said, I would not mess with trying to have the gasket work twice. It may work out, but then, it may not. I am too chicken after messing up Gump to go half essed on things now. If you would like to suck the stuff out, you can come over and use the sucker I have. Bring your own ATF and have at it. Really a quick job that way. PITA to do the pan and gasket route, since it is a huge mess and you remove the filter anyway (at least I end up doing that). Does allow you to spin the TC and drain it as well.

Re: [MBZ] Changing ATF and Filter 190D
Rusty has a filter kit. Just order that, and you have all the bits you will need, but for the the M1 ATF. No need for RTV or ABCs just drain, remove pan, drain TC, remove filter, wipe up, install fresh filter, button up the pan. keep typing pain for some reason, and fill her with four quarts of ATF. Light her off, go through the gears to distribute fluid, check level, take for a spin to heat up, check level, and add as needed. On 10 Aug 2007, at 20:56, Zoltan Finks wrote: Zoikes! I forgot that there was a drain plug on the pan. That's great! But yes, I am thinking I will change the filter now. Is it the same deal as on old American cars where you use some RTV, or the like, to make the stupid gasket lay down on the pan so you can raise it up there and begin to bolt it up? Or has the practice of shipping AT filters folded up ceased?

I want to get it done, and not wait for shipping on the filter. So were I to attempt this, I asume that the only way, barring suction, to remove fluid is to loosen the pan bolts and let it drain out a corner of the pan? Question is: if I do this, is the gasket likely to perform its duties hereafter?

Thanks, Brian 87 190D Just pull the drain plug on the pan and the drain plug on the converter. You really should change the filter Marshall -- Marshall Booth Ph.D. Ass't Prof. (ret.)
