How far should I tear into it?
How far should I tear into it?
I have the motor out and on a stand and was wondering how far I shoud go into it?
It is a oily mess and i have cleaned it up and was going to replace all oil gaskets and seals.
Should I remove head and replace gasket, or just run it there isnt any signs of leaks.
Should I reseal main pan or just the metal small one?
The IP pump is dry and not leaky but the hand pump sprays back at me when I pump it, so a replace or rebuild is in order.
Turbo is stock but would like to upgrade it and add fuel to the motor to gain a few HP while im at this point. I have a KKK26 I took off my 930 to upgrade it? its the 3ldz from a 79. Not sure it will work or not.
Should I replace timming chain at this point and guides.
Any thoughts would be great
Cheers Ed
1983 om617 turbo 200K runs good a little bit of a rough idle but started last week at -2 deg without being plugged in, so good compression I would think.

Replace easy seals
if you are going to play with the IP, do it on the stand, will be much easier

01-10-2012, 02:48 AM #3I have 700,000 miles on the original head gasket in my OM617. If there are no noticable problems with it on a stand. I'd run it. I would do the following if I were to purchase a used OM617 or had it on a stand before install for ease of access especially if in a different chassis.
