OM617 w/misc parts in Houston, Tx - Snipe656 - 04-16-2012
Did not know if anyone is in the Houston, Tx area but I have the following parts that seem to be married to the bed of my truck and figured maybe someone else has a need/use for them. If all I count is the fuel I spent to get this stuff and not my time then I have around $120 in everything. I would like $80 but someone has to pick it up. I got the parts from a retired gentleman who had a 1985 300SD and had parted out two other 300SD cars over the years. Originally got them because I needed a transmission(which I am keeping) and had a friend who felt he needed the other stuff but he has become MIA and I don't really care to drive my truck around with so much weight in it.
So my descriptions are simply based upon what he said to me:
- OM617 shortblock. He told me the original crank pulley went bad and ruined the original crank. Said he put in new crank, rod bearings, honed the block and did rings. Put 300-400 miles on it and felt the rings still had not set properly because had some blowby. I do have the cylinder head for this motor and was told it got new guides and valve job. I also have two camshafts, one valve cover, two injection pumps and boxes of misc. bolts and parts that probably all amount to be able to have a complete engine or close to it.
- 2 AC condensors
- 2 radiators
- 2 front grills
- 2 driveshafts
- 2 turbos and manifolds
- 1 Power steering pump
- 2 Electric fans
- 1 Starter
- Bunch of other misc parts that I did not inventory but small stuff.

I'll be in Houston the weekend of May 5th and will take it all if someone else hasn't already.

I still have it and can hold it for you. It probably will be in my friends warehouse by then which is NE of Houston just before Cleveland, TX

This stuff is just going to head to the scrap yard. I did not have room for it and ended up relocated it to a friends warehouse and he is too busy to try and arrange pickup of the stuff.
