The adjuster pucks do wear out though. Then you get one valve that stops behaving. Replace the offending adjuster thing and it gets better. Or, since you are in there, may as well do them all. clay 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1986 SDL - Polei 1982 300 SD - Allen retired models-

Yep, and on the engines you mention, check to see if they are hydraulic valves (don't need adjustment) or mechanical, that will need adjustment. I've run OM603s hundtreds of thousands of miles and NEVER adjusted the valves! ('cause they are hydraulic and don't need to be adjusted) Max

Yup - like the others said - classic sign of valves that need to be adjusted. Why they go to tighter clearance instead of looser I have no idea - but I usually found both loose and tight valves when I adjusted them on OM615, 616 and 617 engines. On Wed, Feb 21, 2018 at 5:19 PM, Curt Raymond via

Re: [MBZ] OT: Check my thinking on something

My understanding is that the valve adjustment generally gets too tight rather than too loose. Too tight means that the valves don't close all the way when they are cold. Once warmed up they likely expand a bit and close better so the motor will run not too badly once it warms up but is

Well, most of you folks have much more experience with this sort of thing than I do, but I will chime in anyway. My 115 300D got to where it was unwilling to start when it was cold out. Adjusting the valves fixed that problem and I believe it sounded smoother after as well. RB On 21/02/2018
