This was brilliant problem solving. . . and you are by yourself. . . man I would be begging for another brain and a pair of eyes to see what the heck was going on. Truly remarkable thinking!

[@woodsandbarclay]

Wow thanks for the great compliment.

Jtwoods going well on the rebuild nice to see someone else doing the work keep on the good work and thank you for for the video ron rdzl om616 mb dzl

[@woodsandbarclay]

Thanks Ron it's a really great experience. Tonight I actually got the head installed and all the head bolts torqued. That video will be up in a few days. When I'm done this is going to be the only comprehensive om617 build on TH-cam. I'm trying to cover every little detail.

[@woodsandbarclay]

Ha! Yeah I needed to wait on some parts and I wanted to try to cram more into this video.

The Germans arent beyond making communication mistakes between the engineer and the detailer on those drawings, I found several mistakes along the way rebuilding Porsche engines. Thanks for the video, I rebuilt an OM about five years ago, Parts are getting scarce,

What’s the torque spec for the timing device bolt?

[@woodsandbarclay]

I actually don't recall a torque spec but it's not incredibly tight just snug it up really good no need to crank down on it. As I recall it's a left hand threaded bolt so it can't come loose when spinning.
