Dave, Rusty's site shows a stem seal set similar to the pics you have
of the OE versions (with a two-pack of stem condoms).
Where did you purchase the SIR valve spring compressor? Samstag's
site doesn't show a version for the OM60X engines, and ZD MAK shows
something that looks similar, but sez i
s on a bunch of engines, is in this PDF:

You'll get no argument on that point from me. Self-inflicted wound,
but an ever so satisfying little project when the the mechanicals
cooperate.

I've got NO trouble with you messing with 'em - as long as you can
afford it! They're a LOT more economical if you don't "mess with 'em."

I did the seals of my 603 at about 300K, I made a tool, but will get the
right one next time. The old seals were very brittle. I only changed them
because I was in there doing the chain anyway. I noticed NO change in oil
consumption/smoking, as Marshall says. Valve seals have little influen
I think Dave M. was the only one on the list who did
the valve stem seals on the OM60X engine. I did this
on my 240D but I remember the required tool was
completely different. 60X engine requires a "bridge"
tool and a crawlfoot to do this job. Trial &
elimination approach sometimes does get expensi
So, in an effort to diagnose and (hopefully) fix my OM603's excessive
blue smoking problem upon acceleration, I picked up a cheap rebuilt
350 SDL turbo on ebay ($150), thinking it might stem a source of oil
entering the intake stream--it didn't. My recent compression test
didn't reveal any anomalo
