Re: [MBZ] Whats this stuff on my 240D
DaveI think I heard that term someplace from way back whenever and really never knew what it meant either but when I took the rod cap and the bearing was paper thin and even squished up the side 1/4 , it Looked like a spun bearing that had stopped spinning to me :-) That crank had really hammered it, of course now I'm real sorry I tried to drive it home :'( Regards Steve Van Cleve Marrowstone Isl Wa 85 Euro 240D 5 spd 110K 79 240D 5spd fresh tranny transplan 82 Euro 300 TD non turbo, project wagon 94 Dodge, 2500, 5 spd, 5.9 Cummins, 95K -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of dave walton Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 1:46 PM To: Mercedes mailing list Subject: Re: [MBZ] Whats this stuff on my 240D What does it mean to Spin a Bearing - or Spun a Bearing?

Re: [MBZ] Whats this stuff on my 240D
sounds like the overhaul consisted of a valve job. I had a job like that foisted on me by the stealership in Memphis back in 72. That is how I learned to be a diesel mechanic. At 11:26 AM 10/4/2005, you wrote: I pulled the head off and the pistons out yesterday and the sides if the cylinder walls were totally smooth and polished, NO cross hatch marks at all, #1 piston had spun a bearing and the crank is a little scratched, which I think can be repaired. The rod is somewhat discolored about 2'' up from the big end., which proly means replacement, hopefully I have one the same weight in my spare parts bin. There is no ridge at the top of the cyl walls but my plan is to have the block bored for o/s pistons. So far the valve guides look good but will finish checking them out today.

Re: [MBZ] Whats this stuff on my 240D
I have no idea who did the rebuild but it was down in San Diego :'( I'm kind of a beginner at this but I have seen the inside of a couple 616s and I dont quite get the no ridge and no cross hatchs, even I know that aint right :-) Allot of the parts in the eng look new, oil pump, chain tensioner shoe, (guides).

Re: [MBZ] Whats this stuff on my 240D
The crankshaft bearing inserts are secured in the rod by indents on the cap and rod. If the bearing gets worn or the friction between the crankshaft and bearing gets high, the insert may come loose from these indents and spin inside the rod (not good). Thomas E.

I have an engine I took out of a manual 83 240D that I plan to rebuild this fall. Its a Ca car if that makes any diff.

Also there is a pipe going into the top of the oil pan (passenger side of eng) Whats this all about?? This engine was supposedly rebuild down in So Ca but it used a qt of lub oil every 200 miles, and the gal (PO) got tired of adding oil..So I bought it when it started knocking, pulled the eng and now I will get around to investigating.

Also there is a pipe going into the top of the oil pan (passenger side of eng) Whats this all about?? This engine was supposedly rebuild down in So Ca but it used a qt of lub oil every 200 miles, and the gal (PO) got tired of adding oil..So I bought it when it started knocking, pulled the eng and now I will get around to investigating. I'm hopping the crank is not toast..sigh, ;-) Regards Steve Van Cleve Marrowstone Isl Wa 85 Euro 240D 5 spd 110K 79 240D 5spd fresh tranny transplan 82 Euro 300 TD non turbo, project wagon 94 Dodge, 2500, 5 spd, 5.9 Cummins, 95K ___ 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://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net ___ 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://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
