- Complete teardown of a Mercedes OM 606.962 engine. Some pressure in the coolant system and the occasional misfire upon start up. Full rebuild in progress and good to go for another 500k miles.

I love this video from Morocco 🇲🇦
606 the true meaning of a reliable engine
We’re is part 2!!!!!!!!!! Waiting patiently!! Keep up the vids love ‘em
Just finished tghe paint job on the engine block. Ready to be assembled. Thank you for your support. Greatly appreciated
Can't wait for part 2! Subscribed!
Me too:) unfortunately the machine shops are overwhelmed with work so i have to wait...this week i was told the engine was ready. Only work needed: honing the cylinders. Everything else is still in STD, or as good as new. Mating face of the block will get done, cylinder head as well, all the valves and seats will be regroundm new piston rings and ready to run. That kind of machining/build quality is simplky gone these days....
@@heritagesteel1976 How much do vehicles with those engines typically sell for over there? are any available with the older mechanical fuel pump? reason I ask is with a manual transmission and a large hill you can bump start them in a pinch. not sure if that works with the electric pumps
Love this engine!!!
yeah me too. this is one sturdy engine, the likes of we'll never see again from any manfufacturer unfortunately.
thank you!
no! Thank You for watching. Hope it was helpful and you enjoyed it!
I have a 1987 300d and 1987 300sdl both with the om603 turbo diesel.
Both are great running and driving cars. I will never own another car unless
It is pre 1990 mercedes diesel.
Hi there. I am going to check out a 300 SDL next week. They are pretty rare over here in Portugal, the ones you do find were imports from portuguese owners in the states/Canada who loved them so much and brought them back with them. I did own two and those were the EPITOME of Mercedes built quality. Most say the engine is underpowered. I feel its okay and you get decent MPG that with a 560 you can only dream of. Of course performance wise two worlds apart.
Tengo el mismo motor e300td de momento todo correcto solo tienen 150.000 km. Pero me gusta ver como se reparan. Nuevo suscriptor de Murcia (ESPAÑA) SALUDOS !!
Thank you for your support
I just started an upper end rebuild on my 99 E300 TD 606. I plan on utilizing these videos as reference. Thanks a ton, and if I have any questions, would it be ok to ask?
sure, glad to help
I wish so bad you were able to show what exactly you were each step of the way.
Do you mind sharing where you get your parts from and more importantly which aftermarket manufacturers you trust best for parts that Mercedes doesn't produce any longer? thanks!
its really a hit and miss these days. Lemforder used to sell really good quality parts, now china made.(not all the stuff, but quite a lot). Really cant tell anymore. I am still going with Lemforder or original Mercedes if available.
ok thanks, any particular websites you can recommend for online orders?
25 out of 26 ain't bad! I'm in the middle of doing the same with mine.
i've rebuilt 5 or 6 of these engines by now. Never seen a snapped head bolt. I've seen snapped sockets when trying to tighten them, but never a snapped head bolt. The worst part for me is: this happend during assembly and they just let it slide...
Do you know what the big differences are on these engines between the electronic ink pump vs the manual? Can the electronic be converted to a manual? I’m very new to these engines and they are hard to come by in the US
you can use the OM 603 mechanical pump from the previous model it will run just fine. Converting an EDC pump to mechanical is out of my leage but i think its not possible i would say.
@@heritagesteel1976 thanks a million boss. What is the average rate these engines go for in Portugal? Do you know anything about importing one to the US?
1996 to 1998 only as far as I know
How much do charge for a rebuilt engine
That depends on whats wrong with the engine. There is no one price unfortunately.
when P2 coming
picked up the engine block from the machine shop today. But its gonna take some time for part 2 unfortunately. Full shop at the moment...
Man you have no clue about anything on engines. You can you silicon if it calls for it and not putting on too much. You can turn up a diesel and not have it smoke also.
hi. feel free to use as much silicon as you like on any engine. I am not a fan and never will be, as long as you use high quality joints and seals no need to smear extra stuff on.
Regarding smoking diesels: i dont like them its just unburnt fuel. Of course you can tune up a diesel without smoke and that is the way to go, at least for me. What i said is i dont like smokey diesels...i also said: to each his own. Its a very "personal" decision.
