No Way! it would be easier to put a 123 OM 616 or 617 in the 115. major problems are flywheel/trans mating; oil filter and motor mounts. Of those, the motor mounts are the easiest. THere is probably a factory set of motor mount arms somewhere that will bolt in, or can be mounted on 2 of

The oil filter on a W115 is up front, underneath in a canister. Huge PITA to change as you always end up with oil running down your armpit. The filter housing is by #1 cylinder underneath the injection pump. On the 616 (as opposed to the 615 which is in the W115), the oil filter

Finally got the head off.  Had to remove water pump, etc. and fabricated a puller for the timing chain rail pin using a hose clamp and a bolt.  The pin came out nicely and I removed the rail and lifted off the head.    Everything looked fine...except that 3 pistons were at TDC!  #2 piston was

There is a bolt pin done by the crank balancer that holds the rail in place. Screw a bolt into it (or use the fancy Benz tool if you can locate one) and pull the pin out to release the rail. You will need to align the slot in the balancer with the pin to pull it. You CAN get the head off
