Wiseman's 91 W126 OM606
Got into these Mercedes diesels firstly because I daily drive a 07 gl320 cdi that has 375,000 km on it and the thing has been a tank. Great reliability, good fuel milage and you would never guess the age of the vehicle given the great shape of the interior/exterior.
Also my brother has a 84 300sd that has a 7.5mm meken pump, Holset hx30, custom exhaust. It is a fun car !
I recently purchased a 1991 560sel. Black on black. car has 260,000 km on it but looks really good in and out. Motor seems tired so it looks like a perfect car to do a swap.
Bought a OM606.962 that I will be building. Purchased the motor around 2 weeks ago. Apparently it is a running motor and had 250,000km on it. I want to tear it down and verify everything is ok before I start buying parts. (even though I jumped the gun and already bought a car and a 722.626 ). I did take the oil pan off and noticed some small metal bits in the pan. Need to take off the head to check the cylinders. I did take off a couple of connecting rod caps and the bearings had no wear on them which is great.
Overall the plan is to build the motor, install ftune connecting rods, balance the rotating assembly, ARP everything, change the valve springs and seats. I am looking at getting a manifold made and installing a s300 turbo. I am also looking at getting a 8mm Myna pump.
This will be a slow build though, plan so far is to finish the engine by January and go from there.
Ill add my youtube link below, I want to document a little about the build, post some before, after and progress pics.
