OM606 rear sump oil pan?
OM606 rear sump oil pan?
Hey everyone, new guy here with plans of converting a JK Wrangler Unlimited from the pathetic 3.8L mini van motor to an OM606 with OM603 pump. I am wondering if anyone knows what application of this engine would use a rear sump oil pan? I've been searching for a couple of weeks on Google and so far the only thing I have found is a pic of one that the the guys at Black Smoke Racing are using. I have e-mailed them looking for info but haven't heard back as of yet. See the following pics and let me know if you can tell me what the pan is from. Thanks!!
290td in the Korean SsangYong have that I believe, other that that I have no clue. Looking at the pictures it's not an elongated 5cyl witch would be the case in using a SsangYong one.
I spy a supercharger...
Thanks!! You guys rock! I will definitely be leaning on you guys for more info once this project starts. =)
(Mercedes part number 6480140302 just in case that Ebay ad disappears forever.)
Any idea what oil pump/pick up assembly would be best for that? I would assume the same vehicle that the pan comes from?
Hey dieseljeep,
I'm extremely interested in your swap. I'm planning to swap a mechanical 606 into a JK as well.
My aim is reliability and economy, not so much big power/torque.
Where in Canada are you? I'm in Whitehorse, Yukon.
What transmission will you be using?
Are you hoping to use stock Transfer Case and drive shafts?
Any more info you can provide would be great.
Thanks!

(06-11-2014, 09:57 PM)dieseljeep Hi Dan. I'm in Edmonton. If I can get this project off the ground, I will be looking at using a 700R4 just to further eliminate any electronic controls. I am also looking at fuel economy but am aiming at some towing power as well. Even at stock output the powerband is so much lower than the 3.8L that it should already be fantastic for towing but a little more is always better, right?
This probably won't happen until the fall as I have other projects to finish first but I'll post up when the time comes.

(06-12-2014, 01:27 PM)Grecy ... and with conservative driving I'm hoping for ~30mpg. This isn't too far off what G-Wagon drivers are getting with an OM606 and 6 speed, and they're running full-time 4wd.I'd take claims like that with a grain of salt. With the lockup 5 speed auto I average 20mpg lately. That is with US gallons, not UK, and I am a very conservative driver. Most G300DT (G - factory built with OM606) owners tell me they only hope to get up to that kind of MPG. Check out spritmonitor.de for some actual fuel economy. The G300 with better mileage is the CDI. My data is out of date by several years.

If you want 30MPG, a 250CDI BlueEfficiency would be the ticket. A nightmare of modules and wiring though.

(06-16-2014, 05:38 PM)Grecy Thanks for the info.At 65mph on 265/75R16 tires the engine is at 2500rpm. The engine's peak efficiency is somewhere between 2200 and 2600.
What rpm are you turning at cruising speed in your 5 speed auto?
I will gear mine to turn at only 2,100 rpm in 6th at 100 km/h, and I won't really need to cruise any faster than that.
On the trip I'm planning, roads won't allow me to drive over 80km/h, likely less than 60km/h most of the time. My last trip was Alaska->Argentina, the next one is a lap of Africa.
That's part of the reason I want the all-mechanical 606 with the 603 pump - no electronics, easier to fix if something crops up.

The OM606 might actually want a little more RPM than you are gearing for. I take it that you have the 4.375:1 diffs in the axle?

I'm interested in this too, the OM606 sump in my Land Rover is very close to the front axle case. Looking on Ebay, the W211 E320 cdi sump and oil pick do look spot on that they should fit.
(06-20-2014, 01:53 AM)ho55 I'm interested in this too, but we really need confirmation that the oil pump and sump from an e320 CDI (W211) will drop into an be bolt on compatible to OM606 motor.

Looks like this has a dip-stick too (not std. on many modern lumps...)?
(06-21-2014, 07:19 AM)ho55 Many thanks for the confirmation!
How are the 648 cap bolts different? Do they have a female thread in the head or something?
Don't suppose you know the part number?

Zeeman - thanks for the info on the oil pump and pan fitment!! That will undoubtably help several people with future swaps!!
(07-13-2014, 10:09 AM)hooblah Wouldnt it be cheaper to just cut the flange off the 606 sump, turn it around and weld it back together?
Or is there some reason why people aren't doing that?
I think warping of the pan and/or flange during welding would be the biggest challenge.

(07-13-2014, 10:09 AM)hooblah The cheapest 648 sump I can find is over £100. Wouldnt it be cheaper to just cut the flange off the 606 sump, turn it around and weld it back together?

Be patient and search ebay with the part number (6480140302) one will come up. Check on ebay.de specifically too. I found mine for 50 Eur.
You do know that you have to change the oilpump for the 648 type too, dont you? The 606 pump will not fit with the 648 sump.

I thought I'd just check how compatable my OM648 oil pump is compared with a spare OM605 oil pump
The chain gear is the same size/teeth etc, but sits further forward and tighter up to the block, so appears not to be a direct swap unless someone can prove otherwise?
I think I can pull the gear off the 648 pump and either modify it or fit the 605/6 gear on the front, then either shorten the chain if that's possible or find the correct 648 chain and use that instead?
Not quite the bolt-on solution I was hoping for!
(07-20-2014, 02:38 PM)Petar Maybe you want the 5 cylinder oil pump (OM647). Maybe that is bolt on ?

(07-20-2014, 03:52 PM)hooblah Derek, of course I wouldnt just swap it without comparing them!
Nice one Simon. How similar is the 606 pump to the 648 pump?

By the looks of things, the pumps appear to have the same sort of dimensions but its the gears that are different. Im guessing you could swap the gears round and it should be fine. But obviously I havent seen it in person so I can only speculate.
Whats holding the gear on on the 648 pump?
(07-20-2014, 04:52 PM)Druk How much further fwd is the wheel on the 648 pump relative to the mounting bolt holes? I wouldn't have thought there was scope for the crank drive-ring to be moved an 1" further fwd as it appears from the pic it would need to be.

I've now got an OM647 sump and oil pump in addition to my OM648 sump and oil pump
My project OM605 engine is in the workshop so over the next few weeks if I have the time I may be able to build something up and get it working....
UPDATE
It turns out the breaker I got my spare oil pump from had taken the gear off to remove the pump and put it on back to front!
The 647 pump and sump are a straight fit onto the 605 engine, even the drive chain is fine as the pump is offset in addition to being shallower, so is close to the original arc. The only issues I can find are I need another main cap bolt with the extension boss for the windage tray to be relocated to the rear of the engine and the bolt lengths are different.
So yes, it does appear that the later cdi sumps and oil pumps are a direct swap to the older 605/606 engines
