Re: [MBZ] Does anybody else get Homepower?
When was the first Diesel put in a car by MB? It was in 1936 with the introduction of the 4 cylinder 2.6L 260D. Here's some info on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_260_D Kevin in Hillsboro, OR 1983 300SD 266Kmi, Ursula ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Does anybody else get Homepower?
Yup - it was me. I gave up on the 617 idea right after I got the SDL - it HAS to be a 603 engine. The 603 is both lower, and much more V8 like than a 617. The difference is night/day. I suspect the photog in that article thinks all Mercedes are Diesel powered. Speaking of which, the book I'm reading now has a scene where the WWII Germans are driving up in two Mercedes - they are identified by sound because of the Diesel engines, then verified by sight.

Does anyone know what the difference in height between the gas engines in a '78 450SL or an '83 380SL and a 617 are? Several years ago, somebody here (or mbz.org) claimed to have done the measuring, and if you gave the engine the normal height above ground there would be 2-3 inches of interference between the timing chain bulge on the valve cover and the R107 hood. I don't know if that would also make the air filter too high, or if a hood scoop over the valve cover would do the trick. I have seen OM617/R107 cars for sale, the last one I can recall was on eBay UK a year or two ago. I don't know if they use different mounting arms and give up oil pan clearance or how they do it.
