I thought you were rebuilding it yourself? I bet that engine
cost a pretty penny.

what did you do, clean the engine, transmisson, and engine compartment
while you had it out? Looks good.
The engine is a rebuild from Metric Motors out in California. The
injection
pump and injectors are from Tom Horvath at Yankee Diesel in Connecticut
- very
special IP work, should be a very fast (relatively) 240D post break-in
- lower
no-load max RPM, higher load RPM, and higher fuel delivery in mid-range
and up.
Donna degreased the engine compartment for the most part - the bottom
is still
grease-laden, as I found out when bolting up the motor mounts. The
transmission
was cleaned as best as possible after removal, and then I touched up
the top
half with some fine steel wool to remove the oxidation. As I mention
on at
least one page, the photos simply do not do the motor justice. I hated
to put
the motor in the car, and would have rather set it in my living room.
