OM606 into a W201
OM606 into a W201
Project w201-606 begins. I have all the transmission parts to convert my w201 to manual, except the flywheel and clutch bits... I just need to sort out a turbo capable 603 pump from germany, ship it to finland then get a nice vnt sorted out.
Pics to follow y'all...

Finally, after a few years searching on and off and not finding anything affordable or near to my home, on saturday I picked up a 90K mile 606 motor for a bargain price, just 70 miles from my house!

That was on the way home from collecting it...
I've made a start pulling of burnt bits and everything looks good under the rocker cover:

I even got the glowplugs out without snapping them.
I pulled the injectors and put them on my tester and they seem good as well...

BE VERY VERY CAREFUL!

Desparate as I am for 606 I wouldnt touch that motor personally!

I did not know that about the o-rings, but he is right about the acid - NASTY STUFF it goes to the bones and turns them in to mush. It eats the calcium.

Bad as it looks, the only thing that is melted/charred is the oil filter top cap, and that has now been replaced. There is a slight charring of the surface of the pas fluid reservoir and the fuel heater.
The plastic hose clips on the IP were a little melted too but I've cut all those off and binned them anyway.
Alastair, did you get my email?
Thanks for the headsup on the hydrofluoric acid... I know it's super nasty stuff, but had forgotten that it is produced when viton gets burnt!

BTW nice engine!
off topic automatic trans fluid is really bad for you it absorbs in to your skin/blood stream almost instantly! It's one of the biggest cause's of cancer in the automotive world!!! or so I've been told
most grease isn't good for you but you have time to clean it off before you have any real problems

Hmmm.......
I think Ive found one!
A friend has taken some pics of a complete OM.606 Turbo motor, and its looking nice, Its at the other end of the country, so if I can get it at a good price we'll be all set--shipping is prolly gonna cost a few quid!
Good to know about ATF--Didnt know it was That bad, although its well known motor-oil is carcinogenic with extended contact--and, I'm one of those that just Hates wearing those rubber gloves!

I'm thinking it needs re-ringing but part of me says stick it in and run it for a bit to see if it's just dampness clearing out?

The injectors tested okay on my 1950's CAV tester
but not at part flow, time to get them done along with the pump I think
And here is the part load missing and smokiness I was talking about:

That Aint Blow-by! Nowt wrong there!
As to the smoke--That engine hasnt been run for a bit, been bumped around the country, left outside for a while, prolly turned upside-down when removed--or at the least on its side, Its gonna smoke for a bit anyway!
I'll bet the one I just shoved in the garage today will smoke a fair bit next time its run as it sat on its side in the van from Cardiff to Swansea and overnight--no oil in it though....
As to the miss/shake, dont forget--there is no flywheel on it, only the light ring-gear and flex-plate, the slightest imbalance in power-strokes wont be smoothed out as there's no weight there--no flywheel you see!
I'm sure things would be very different with a proper OM.601 flywheel on there, and a good run with fresh oil under load....
--Having said that, just confirm the injection-timing is correct, 'retarded' timing will make a bit of blue-smoke, depending on how retarded it is....
Diesels LIKE a Load to get all the combustion-chambers good and hot, and often will smoke a little after months of dis-use and no load....
I Saw the vids, but did not Hear them--No speakers--but the other guys reckon it Sounds good....
IF you're really not happy with it, I do know of another one--Trouble is, its in Edinbourgh....

I have received delivery from Finland of the tubular manifold, hx35 and external wastegate:

Me and my friend, who happens to run a surface coating business
decided that we should ceramic the manifold and turbine housing, so I made some masking for the turbine housing and then took the turbo apart:![[Image: 20101217_002.jpg]](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_b43mlCDntA0/TR-BZA48YkI/AAAAAAAABRQ/B5Yd9FsZ_yQ/20101217_002.jpg)
I have also put the cossy flywheel in the lathe and started machining it:

So that the Sachs Racing e34 M5 pressure plate will bolt on

That will take the clutch up to 240mm from 228... If I could buy a 240mm friction plate
I have mercedes, LUK and Sachs part numbers for a suitable disk, but they are only available as a whole kit, apart from the main dealer, but then it's £233 just for the disk So, this project has been steadily emptying my bank account

old stock, no box. For that money if it doesn't fit the gearbox or is not 240mm it can go in the trash.At least it is something to work with to try and get the clutch built up. What I would really like to get is a sprung, full face ceremettallic clutch disk so that it is a bit stronger than the fibre one. Cintered iron would be a bit agressive I think, but from what I have read, the ceremettallic is not aggressive if full face???
Jeemu, it seems that all the suppliers can't buy just the disk, it only comes as a kit. The cheapest kit was the one from LUK which was about 150 euros. But last night on ebay I got a w210 new clutch disk, for £11 old stock, no box. For that money if it doesn't fit the gearbox or is not 240mm it can go in the trash.

The manifold and turbo were ceramic coated and are back together and last Friday, Pasi at PP-Diesel started on my pump and injectors. Today I got an email from him saying all is ready to rock and it is chucking out about 90cc's
So perhaps by this weekend I'll be able to run it up
Progress, slow and steady but we're getting there...
Ebay finally turned up a clutch disc - the flywheel is nearly back from the shop having the bolt holes all drilled and the face machined.

05-16-2011, 05:51 PM #22Nice project....I thought your original plan was to send the injector pump over to Myna to be set up?
" It is far easier to get forgiveness rather than permission"
I became a little concerned that my bosch shop had no experience of building these big power M series pumps so started to look further afield and with shipping being so damn cheap thanks to parcels2go and dhl europlus, I sent all the parts including my injectors, to Pasi.
the original plan years ago was to go with a myna pump but then I got in touch with Tomnik and got elements from him with a view to having my local bosch shop do the work.

Do you have a contact details of your ceramic coating friend?....as I have some pistons I'm interested in getting coated.

05-17-2011, 05:19 PM #25Sounds good Hugh....How much are Pasi charging for the privilige of waving their magic over your injection system....is it that they are cheaper or more accessable than Myna....or perhaps better?

We've had it since then, broke a gear in the gearbox in the early 90's so contacted leblond with the serial number (hence we know the history) but the new gear was too expensive. It was repaired with weld and file and has been good as new since then.
The tailstock is aweful, the dials on the slides are very small (as are all old lathes) but it is accurate to a thou most of the time
And yes, I know it needs a new power input cable
The 1941 Leblond Regal (I think) was sent to the UK under lease-lend in the war. I'm not sure what it was used for during the war, but afterwards it found its way into the local ice rink here in Bournemouth where it spent most of its life, until the early 80's in the maintenance department making/adjusting/repairing refrigeration pipework couplings and stuff.

At a guess, The original W201 mounts from the original engine...

I also had to cut up my kkd manifold (sob sob) and move the wastegate, the plumbing for that is nearly complete.
Been working on converting this w201 to a steering rack (lots of headache) to try and give me some downpipe clearance:

I'm working on the subframe rebuild at the moment, but once that is done I'll concentrate on the front end again. I've decided on how I'm going to do the plumbing, I just need some time on the CAD to get the mounting plate done for the eaton, then make a new snout.
I'm aiming to have it finished by Retro show '14 for the 190 GTG
