Technically, they made one in 1985.
A 2.5 liter OM602 for the w201, w124 and w460.
I don't know what month of 1985 they started selling vehicles with these
engines, but Mercedes says they started production of this engine in April 1985.
I've never seen an '85 with one in it though.

I'd agree. Find a 602. Better yet, find a turbo version.

This was in the W201 190D and the G-class I think.

In thousandths of an inch, that's 4 - 10 thousandths.
