WTB: OM617 turbo engine/block - 300D50 - 06-14-2011
I'm looking for a 617 turbo engine block, in order to get the alignment of the drilled/reamed/threaded holes for the piston oil squirters.
Can be cut down to one cylinder with a torch/bandsaw/ trained attack ninja squirrels with files, as long as the 1st and 2nd main bearing cap mounting surfaces are left intact, and at least two inches of the lower half of cylinder #1 is left.
Also would be interested in a complete block/engine if you're local to 13440, 13490, 13409, or 13502.

Hahaha. I have a bad block I might be able to cut up for ya this weekend.

SWEEEET!
I need the bottom 2 inches of the block out past the #2 main mounting flats+dowel locations if it's not too much of an issue.
If all goes well, I want to make a jig to drill NA blocks for the squirters, that way I don't need a CNC machine to do it every time.
I could also be persuaded to loan it out to people making 616 turbo engines...

Correction, I need at least the bottom of cyl 1 where the squirters bolt to, the mating section for the #1 and #2 mains, and that should be it...
AKA, chop off cyl 1 someplace after the second main, and somehow get it to fit in a box.
I'm beginning to think I've gone mental with this entire project...

I'll flip my spare over tomorrow and snap some pics. I shoul be able to torch it up during the week sometime.

Thanks again!
I can mspaint cut lines in the pics if it helps out, I realize that my desriptions are a little off sometimes.
Let me know how much I'll owe ya as well.

Do you want 5 oil squirters to stash for future use? I'll send them to you for $15 obo.
