om617 Turbo quick n' dirty rebuild
I'm going to try to do a quick n' dirty rebuild on my 82 300d turbo. Basically just the rings, rod bearings, and valve stem seals. I've done a few engine in car ring jobs on other vehicles (65 rambler, 85 toyota 22r) Has anyone tried this? Is this possible with the Mercedes om617 turbo?
My experience is the upper shell of the rod bearing set gets the most wear on these motors including the main bearings. So just replacing the rods bearings would save money. But then again, perhaps flipping the set around would save even more money.
.
Why not replace the guides too? We need a similar rebuild with the race car, just haven't cracked it open yet to see exactly what needs fixing first. We need cheap, quick(ish), and to fix the exhaust valve issue, looking forward to what everyone has to say.

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
Pulling the engine isn't too terrible if the fan & radiator are out first.

These are PRICELESS when you're installing a motor:
