[MBZ] antique Dayton 1500 air compressor rebuild
Finally, yesterday I got fedup with the lack of performance from my $100 air compressor. Dayton model 1500 2 cylinder 2 stage 7 cfm 175 psi 600 rpm 60 gallon tank I pulled it apart and cleaned, straightened, and re-bent/lengthened the springs. Reassembled it with permatex to replace sections of paper gasket that flaked apart. Spent about 1 hour with it and let it sit overnight for the permatex and pipe thread sealer to cure. Fired it up this afternoon and it filled the tank from 20 to 130 psi in 18 minutes. I placed a RPM gague on the compressor, and it's only running about 400rpm. Is this about right for a 7cfm compressor? Or should I take it to Grainger and see if they can match the valves and rings?

RR of the cracked head. I installed the bearing caps in the exact order they were removed, they are numbered 1-7. Thank goodness :D Bearing caps 2,3,4, and 7 were installed 1 turn per bolt at a time. I'm thinking that the mechanical interference is not enough lube/metal on metal. That's why I'm going to take it off and put it back on with lube. If I do it right, and there's still an issue, I have bigger problems. This is my first head RR. All I'm doing is following the manual word for word. Hasn't been tough until this point.

The engine should turn over using a wrench on the crank bolt. If you cannot turn it there, the starter won't turn it either. I looked at the 603 manual it appears the cam hold downs are held in place by a single bolt? The sequence of tightening these bolts is important to get an even pressure on the cam.I haven't kept all the posts to this thread - I seem to rememebr you teling us how you tighten the bolts slowly -- I assume you made sure the cam bearing housings went back on in the same order? Please don't be offended by my questions - if they seem basic its only because I don't know your level of expertise on this stuff - Toms right, the Mobil 1 is not the problem.

Re: [MBZ] thoughts on diesel clatter
Say an air compressor is set to turn off at 120 psi. This takes 8 minutes and x number of strokes of said air compressor to achieve this. Then, change the pressure cutoff to 110 psi, and it now takes 7 minutes 23 seconds and x-150 strokes of said air compressor. Then, change the pressure to cutoff at 130 psi. That takes 9 minutes 5 seconds and x+200 strokes of your air compressor. ***disclaimer:all previous calculations are random guesses*** The same physical rule applies to our injection systems. If you lower the pop pressure, the timing will be advanced. If you raise the pop pressure, the timing will be retarded. If you have properly set injectors (according to MB's spec) and if your IP pump produces the correct amount of pressure per stroke (i.e. not worn) and if your timing chain is not stretched, your timing will be correct. Any one of these factors can change with age and cause the timing to change.

It's like the pendulum composed of 5 suspended balls. You pull one away, let go and as soon as it hits the second one, the 5th one swings out, then the 5th one swings back in, hits the 4th one the first one swings out, etc, etc. In this example, what's being transferred in the energy provided by releasing the first ball. The same is true with the fuel in the injection lines. The IP delivers pressure to the front end, the pressure travels down the line in a very fast moving wave, the pressure wave overcomes the poppet valve spring pressure the entire column of fuel moves down the line. This is also why diesel injector lines are all a constant length. The pressure wave travels at a set speed if the lines were different lengths then you really would have a timing issue.

Re: [MBZ] O/T Router
You will need a wireless bridge. Then, for the connection to your shop, connect another wireless router to the bridge. You will have to configure the bridge with a computer attached to it, then add the second router. There are standalone bridges, or routers with bridge capabilities (USR only?).

Re: [MBZ] O/T Router
Bridge mode is used to connect two isolated networks wirelessly. If this feature is enabled, wireless clients will not be able to connect to the Wireless MAXg Router. Bridging is used if you are trying to connect two networks or two groups of wired clients, each with its own Wireless MAXg Router or wireless access point, that cannot be conveniently connected using Ethernet cabling. An example of this type of situation would be two homes that want to share network resources without running cabling through their yards. quoted from the manual for the 5461 I just ordered. -- Luther KB5QHUAlma, Ark '87 300SDL (272,xxx mi) head case '85 Ford F250 6.9 diesel (x58,xxx mi) '82 300CD (166 kmi) '82 300D (74 kmi) getting donor engine-sold '85 300D (280,176) parts car sans engine ___ 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

[MBZ] Fwd: AGM Batteries
http://www.windsun.com/Batteries/Battery_FAQ.htm#AGM, or Absorbed Glass Mat Batteries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorbed_Glass_Mat Is this the technology behind Optima batteries? From: Casey Hicks Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 3:33 PM To: DTC DL Maintenance Breakdown Employees Subject: AGM Batteries AGM, or Absorbed Glass Mat Batteries A newer type of sealed battery uses Absorbed Glass Mats, or AGM between the plates. This is a very fine fiber Boron-Silicate glass mat. These type of batteries have all the advantages of gelled, but can take much more abuse. We sell the Concorde (and Lifeline, made by Concorde) AGM batteries. These are also called starved electrolyte, as the mat is about 95% saturated rather than fully soaked. That also means that they will not leak acid even if broken. AGM batteries have several advantages over both gelled and flooded, at about the same cost as gelled: Since all the electrolyte (acid) is contained in the glass mats, they cannot spill, even if broken. This also means that since they are non-hazardous, the shipping costs are lower. In addition, since there is no liquid to freeze and expand, they are practically immune from freezing damage. Nearly all AGM batteries are recombinant - what that means is that the Oxygen and Hydrogen recombine INSIDE the battery. These use gas phase transfer of oxygen to the negative plates to recombine them back into water while charging and prevent the loss of water through electrolysis. The recombining is typically 99+% efficient, so almost no water is lost. The charging voltages are the same as for any standard battery - no need for any special adjustments or problems with incompatible chargers or charge controls. And, since the internal resistance is extremely low, there is almost no heating of the battery even under heavy charge and discharge currents. The Concorde (and most AGM) batteries have no charge or discharge current limits. AGM's have a very low self-discharge - from 1% to 3% per month is usual. This means that they can sit in storage for much longer periods without charging than standard batteries. The Concorde batteries can be almost fully recharged (95% or better) even after 30 days of being totally discharged. AGM's do not have any liquid to spill, and even under severe overcharge conditions hydrogen emission is far below the 4% max specified for aircraft and enclosed spaces. The plates in AGM's are tightly packed and rigidly mounted, and will withstand shock and vibration better than any standard battery. Even with all the advantages listed above, there is still a place for the standard flooded deep cycle battery. AGM's will cost 2 to 3 times as much as flooded batteries of the same capacity. In many installations, where the batteries are set in an area where you don't have to worry about fumes or leakage, a standard or industrial deep cycle is a better economic choice. AGM batteries main advantages are no maintenance, completely sealed against fumes, Hydrogen, or leakage, non-spilling even if they are broken, and can survive most freezes.

Re: [MBZ] Replacing Oil Lines OM 617.951 in 85 300SD
When I replaced my oil cooler lines on my SD (and later my CD) I didn't have any problems with the threads. The CD gave me fits and I ended up cutting the cooler line off, and using a 27mm socket on the offending nut. That took care of the issue. While you have the oil cooler lines out of the way, tighten the oil filter base allen bolts. This will save you from having to do that again later if a leak develops.
