Wow! Looks like you've got quite the project to dive into! I've seen a 352 before, but tats the first 314 I've seen. Direct injection though, nice score.

How are you going to get it back home?

There was a rubber line between the engine and the hard line going to the tanks. I spliced in here and ran it off a 5 gal tank of diesel. You know there was a fuel line coming off the back of the head that went to a T right where the rubber line split off. This hose was rotted and one I didn't run into the can. I'll have to read the FSM.

I have a 1986 Motoroam with an OM352 motor, etc. My question is where did you find the data plate that is in German? I have crawled around this RV and nothing so far.

Thanks,

I finally found someone that was more deranged than I. I realized the full intensity of his derangement when he showed up with a f150 and a car trailer. I didnt have the heart to take a pic of the trailer buckled but needless to say the RV made it about 200ft downhill from my house in an empty lot.

I worked on those 508D's 20 odd years ago.....Bombproof reliability in a nutshell....I've seen several cover 600,000kms without an issue....Very simple straight forward machine and the OM314 was a brilliant engine....They were very popular as 25 seater mini coaches around here....It should be a very simple project to get right mechanically..

I never ever saw an injector pump give trouble in one....what was wrong with it.........I remeber pulling OM314's & OM352's out of the bushes and getting them working with very little work....We used to run the OM352's to 800,000-1,000,000kms without any great problems...and after that we used to export them to Africa and the third world still running
