Do you know if Jeemu posted some numbers of the bigger injectors and the change of the nozzle hole for the prechamber?
As far as posting actual hole sizes, not that I know of. I have spoken with him privately though. He is a very nice fellow. I do not feel at liberty to share specifically what we talked about though, as he has not posted it for a reason I suppose.
They are very competitive with these engines over there so any technical advantage is a benefit, so very little will ever be posted for all to see.
Jeemu is a very nice Guy, but love secrets

I have an extra head laying around so I think I will try out some modded PC's also. Sounds like a cheap and worthwhile mod
I used my lathe and a boring bar. You do not want to use a drill!!! You will hit the ball!!!
I imagine the larger area helps clear out the injector tip with fresh air. MB says to do this to help reduce smoke, and it is standard on 85 models I think.

I don't have a boring bar small enough to do that, so maybe I'll just skip that step.
Our lathe is a hendley that was used in WWII, good lathe but its much too big for something as small as a prechamber

The real problem is my smallest boring bar is like 3/4"
Can't wait to get my crank puller in the mail and try some new chambers!
I'd love to buy a set of altered/enlarged PC's for my wagon with the MYNA pump.... I'd make it worth someone's time!

(12-30-2012, 01:12 PM)OM616- No but I can go get a whole head from the junkyard and have my indie loan me the tool if I have no other alternative. Interested if I get some PC's?

They would definitely help with the smoking and you would notice the additional power. The thing is getting some good used PC for your engine. New ones are way to expensive.
Do you have the special tools to pull the PCs?

I got the crank puller today to make my own PC puller tool, Have to weld some stuff up then see if she works

I think that 0.136" was the biggest OM616 has gone so far. Can you try a homemade sandblast/extrude hone to radius the inner edge of the holes?

Om616,
Are you making all the holes the same size?
I was think of just taking the stock hole size for each one (except the small drain hole at the tip) and increasing them by say, maybe .01?
So it would be like one .142 hole, two .130, and two .100?

LOL.... I opened them all up the same, but do what you feel comfortable with, anything that helps the PC breath better will help. I did not taper or bevel the holes on mine, so I will add that next time.
A member posted that all he did was taper the holes and saw a benefit. Now that you have the tools to pull the PCs, you can always increase them later if you want.

(01-02-2013, 04:38 PM)MFSuper90 Hmmm. Decisions, Decisions
I think I will leave them in the same size ratio (one big surround by two smaller) and open the back holes up some too. There has to be some reason why Mercedes didn't leave them all the same size.
And as you said, I can always go bigger

(01-25-2013, 05:03 PM)OM616 The tools I made are not as pretty as yours...
What reamers are you guys using to open up the holes? I am trying to decide what to buy...

A solid carbide boring bar for the center, and some nice .140 (?) diam carbide reamers for the holes

I just saw this link over on PP by gxsr. This is a tool to remove the lock ring to remove the PC.

Help me out here, maybe I am just having a brain fart.
You use reamers to open up the holes, so do you get a set of them and just keep going up one size at a time? or get a drill bit, drill it, then clean it up with a reamer?

(02-01-2013, 04:57 PM)winmutt AFAIK this is only a mod for when you are pushing too much fuel.

I have not dyno'd but did do some hill climb tests,and it did show a noticeable improvement. I am pushing a good bit of fuel, or at least as much as the stock pump can do. However even at less fueling this mod helped, so have to say I think it should be done as one of the basic things to do when starting to build for performance.
The only problem is that hardly anybody has the pullers needed to get the precups out

Isn't there a slide hammer puller thing needed also to get the chamber out? Or do you just remove the collar nut holding it in and then it comes out?

Does your collar tool thread into the collar to secure it to the collar?
If you look at post 275, (I think), you will see a pic of the tools I made. The collar socket is held tight against the collar with a bolt that is inside the socket, this keeps the socket from popping off and rolling the edges of the collar.

(06-05-2013, 06:34 PM)poleshady yeah it threads into the pre chamber not the collar itself. it cut into and took out chunks of the ring, didnt slip out
im on the phoe with the dealership now to see if they can find the part...doesnt sound promising.
luckily they can order them, 8 bucks each, now i need to find an easy out big enough.
