I’ve got a set of rebuilt injectors, new Bosch glow plugs, a meter of return hose and all the little clips and pads for the injector lines ready to go. I’m going to pull the intake manifold (yes I have new gaskets, too) to do this, since it will make the job a lot easier. One question comes up as I’ve never done this on an OM603: Do you bleed the system by just cranking the engine? Since there’s no primer pump on this engine, I’m assuming that’s the only way it’s going to happen. I’ve bled lines on plenty of diesels in my time, but I just wanted to be sure there wasn’t some sort of cheat in this regard so I know to have the battery charged up… Dan _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
