    I am a trained chefe. You know what everyone found as odd? My favorite foods are Pizza, Lasagna, Greek Meatballs. Cheesburgers, and my TOP number one food? HOT DOGS!
    I LOVE HOT DOGS! maybe it's just me but IKEA seemed to have changed their recipe here at least in Portland Oregon and their hot dogs just don't taste the same as they used to like 10 years ago.
    But PIZZA. It may be the worlds perfect food. However. The mainstream Pizza companies do a okay job. Its just they don't hold a candle to the really good custom shops around.
    Anyways, I have no ever seen a VW Pick up truck since the Rabit or whatever it was called that was based on the car chasis and looked like a subura Brat.
    Good score on the block!

      I think this engine should last 300kkm without oil change. Probably you have 1 000 000 + 365 000 ;-)

    I own the same engine and your videos are just so well done to understand how to work on it ! So congratulations and thank you ! Just a small question, did you do it with the repair manual from Mercedes ? Because i am looking for it. I will change the head gasket really soon and i need to know the torques to apply. Thanks for your help :)

    Hi Foffe! Good job. I am going to change the head gasket in my OM602 engine. I have few questions - can we somehow contact each other?

    Hallo, Ich erlaube mir, Ihnen eine Frage zu stellen. Ich bin dabei, den om 603-Motor meiner Klasse g 300 d aus dem Jahr 1992 durch einen Motor aus einem e 300 zu ersetzen. Ich würde gerne wissen, wozu das Teil am Kipphebeldeckel vorne dient, das wahrscheinlich von der Nockenwelle aktiviert wird. Es ist bei meinem Originalmotor nicht vorhanden. Vielen Dank im Voraus für Ihre Antwort. übrigens sehr gutes video

      Hello, i translated your question in google translate. I think you are asking me about the round thing in front of the valve cover. Its a compressor for the shockabsorbers in the back of the car. There is a leveling controll that sees that the car will be level regardless of the load its carrying, and if there is a extra load on the back this compressor adds air to the back shock absorbers. You can see in the videos after this one how i delete this from this engine and that i welded the gap in the valve cover to fil in the gap. I also did order a new valve cover gasket that was for an engine without this feature to make the delete complete.

    Is it possible to change top from 603 to 606 top on the 603 block

    • @Foffe2000
      @Foffe2000  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I actually dont know, but if i could guess i would say "yes you probebly can" since the bottom end should be the same, But you would have to bring along the pistons since they have a notch for the valves, and if you have a N/A om 603 block you will have to bring along the rods to since the small end of the rods are different in size .. but as i said.. im not sure and havent done the swap myself so its guesswork from my side
