[MBZ] It's out!
I finally got the power steering pump off our '94 E420! The secret was taking the left cold air tube and plastic/rubber baffle off in order to be able to see the offending last bolt. Once I could see it, with the socket and extension routing tips I read on Peachtree, it wasn't extraordinarily difficult. Attached are some pictures of the power steering pump work. Craig P.S. Rusty! You will FINALLY be getting your core back! It's only been since May ... P.P.S In taking the bracket off I noticed that the high pressure hose from the pump was loose. Was this the culprit all along? Wouldn't that be a corker! Anyway, I have a new power steering pump; it IS going on. I'm wondering if I should change the hoses while I'm at it. Moral of the story: Check fittings first! Even those that should not possibly even be loose. -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [MBZ] It's out!
Congratulations! Though minor in comparison, I did an RR of the alternator on the kids 300E yesterday - finally gave up and looked in the manual (CD) for instructions on loosening the belt. One little (17mm) bolt lockes it. Totally different than the 602 engines in the same chassis. I do like the two part fan shroud! It also had to come out, but only the front section. After cleaning the slip rings, the new regulator/brushes worked, and the alternator is charging the battery once again. After years of driving my Diesels, she was surprised that the car wouldn't run with a dead battery!

[MBZ] 220D no start
Gump is being a turd. The start cable fell off the IP while I was out with flu and oldest boy drove. He was not aware the cable had come detached and had trouble starting, but it would eventually light off. I found out the cable was off, and proceeded to hook it back to the IP and now it is not willing to start when the knob gets pulled. It will go to glow, but I am not able to pull it further so that it engages the start circuit. I did learn that the knob mechanism is a three part system. It first opens the fuel flow, then moves to engage the glow system. Final position is to engage the starter. What would work better would be a simple manual glow switch, and a push to start button. Probably pain in the rear to figure out the way to cut into the circuits.

[MBZ] Bore measurements on 140 SD
Ok, so I measured to bores today with my HF electronic bore gauge. Keep in mind I have never done this before, and not sure if I even did it right. Here is what I did. I set my HF digital caliper to the spec of the bore, approx 89.01. With it set there bore gauge gives a base reading of - .424mm. Below are the measuring points I took 1=bottom of cyl 2=middle of cyl 3=top of cyl a=longitudinal b=lateral This is what I got for measurements. On some of these, I took the same measurement SEVERAL times till I was able to somewhat repeat the results, all numbers are actually -(negative). Cylinder #1 #2 #3 a b a b ab #1 .418.410 .416 .410 .422 .398 #2 .426.416 .422 .418 .420 .418 #3 .426.422 .422 .420 .420 .412 #4 .428 (not record) .420 .424 .412 .412 #5 .424.418 .420 .420 .420 .420 #6 .426.426 .426 .428 .414 .422 So, thats what I got. Trying to figure out if any of this tells me if I have ovaled cylinders or not. Basically the spec is 89.007-89.012, so we will say that the base setting of -.424 is 89.01, then the numbers listed above, such as the first one -.418, that measurement would be about .006 more than the base measurement of 89.01, correct? Or is my math all wrong here. Given the numbers above, and the fact that I am no expert, does it seem like I might have a problem? -- Kaleb C.

Yeah, they combined all three systems on one easy-to-use knob. Until it breaks, then it's a PITA. But if you fix it right you can go back to your nearly-unstealable stealth ignition system. Yeah, what he said. With the dash knob pushed all the way in, the cable has to push on the injection pump lever to stop the engine. With the dash knob in the released position, the pin on the injection pump lever should be somewhere in the slot on the fitting on the end of the start cable. With the dash knob in the start position, the pin on the injection pump should be against the front end of the slot on the fitting on the end of the start cable and pulled a little more back than its normal operating position. This causes the injection pump to put out more fuel so the starting is easier. It's indeed possible to correctly adjust the cable. When it's correctly adjusted, everything works as designed. If this isn't enough information, I can look through my 1973 Chilton's and see if it has more. I may even scan the pages, but later, because I don't have time right now.

Re: [MBZ] Bore measurements on 140 SD
No, have not put a depth guage on the piston tops, or inspected the rod. I do not have a depth gauge, where would you get such an item? About the most I have checked on the deck height is when #1 is at the top, if you run your fingernail for example from piston to block, it will catch, on the others, it will catch when you go the other way from block to piston. In other words, just from the naked eye, #1 does sit just a very very small amount lower than the rest. If its enough to matter, I do not know. Mitch Haley wrote: Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] 220D no start
You need to loosen the clamp on the cable jacket at the IP, and slide the jacket toward the firewall enough so that it will hit the start position. Probably 2-4 mm as a guess. THat is the primary adjustment. As for glow, I have several times installed a secondary glow or starter switch. Take a ford fender mounted starter relay. (fairly easy to find at the junkyards 20 years ago. Not sure if they still use them, but I think so) Run a #10 wire (or fusable link) from the battery to the relay (mounted on the rear of the engine or on the firewall) large terminal (left, facing the two small terminals) From the right large terminal, run a #10 wire to the (hot) terminal of the glow resistor if you have loop glow plugs. (on a newer car, or one converted to pencil glow plugs, it goes to the terminal of the last GP) Then run a wire from any suitable hot fused terminal (31, switched) to a pushbutton (NO) mounted under the dash, then back to the new starter relay left small terminal. (single small terminal if your relay has only one small terminal. In that case, the mounting of the relay is expected to provide a ground for the pilot circuit.) From the second small terminal, run a wire to a good ground. If/when you have doubts about the glow switch working, you can try the secondary circuit. It it starts from that one, you know you have a problem in the glow switch circuit. My escort Diesel developed a problem in the switch/relay. Rather than spend days tracking down an intermittent problem in the winter. I rigged up the push button circuit in a mcparts lot when it was 20 below. It only took me 30 min or so, and I did all the wiring I could inside the idling car. Then I went out and installed it. Not fun at 20 below. Much better than spending days trying to fix an intermittent. You can hear the relay engage. I've also used a secondary pushbutton circuit to troubleshoot starter switch/starter solenoid problems. for that, you don't need the relay, just the pushbutton pilot circuit.

It will go to glow, but I am not able to pull it further so that it engages the start circuit. I did learn that the knob mechanism is a three part system. It first opens the fuel flow, then moves to engage the glow system. Final position is to engage the starter. What would work better would be a simple manual glow switch, and a push to start button.

Re: [MBZ] Good deal on Delvac 1300
I wish it were so. Nope, they are from Arkieland. Rumor I was told is that Some daughter and son in law of sam walton started autozone, and then got divorced. she kept autozone, and he bought into a company with a few stores and built it into almost nationwide. (Oreilly) almost everyplace there is or was an autozone, you will find oreilly. Now, there are more oreillys in the parts of the country I travel. So, whether you by stuff from Wallyland, groceries, or autoparts, A LOT of the dollars in the US go to Arkieland. At 08:13 PM 10/11/2009, you wrote: Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] Bore measurements on 140 SD
If I am assessing your measurements correctly, you are getting readings under the nominal bore size? (negative) that seems odd. If your numbers are in thousandths of a MM, then i think Mitch is right. Probably not much to get worried about. Can you see crosshatching on the cylinder walls? if so, your bore is NOT worn. If not, the bore is worn where the crosshatch is no longer evident. I have never used digital gauges, butif it is worn badly, you should be able to tell with the naked eye. if wear is only 0.020mm, or less, I don't see much concern. THe ridge on the bore or the crosshatch will tell you most of the story. I know in the past, pistons were binned according to actual dia, and blocks were stamped with actual bore. Thus, the actual bore was fit with a piston with the exact clearance. My 621 short block was actually nominal .5mm overbore. each hole was stamped something like ,47 indicating 87.47 mm bore for a nominal 87.5 mm. the Piston tops were also stamped with the exact dia. I don't know if they still use this practice. If the deck of your block has numbers stamped by each hole, then pay attention, because that will tell you the exact bore size when it was new. IMHO, you have a problem with a bent rod on #1. It is bent enough so that I predict a short life after the engine is running again , if you don't address the #1 rod at least. Seems to me what you describe is in the neighborhood of 0.010 inch or so, (maybe more) and that is a problem. Until you can get the same measurement repeatedly, you have more gauge error or operator error than actual wear. When I did compression tests on the SDL you now have, I used both an snappy gauge and the HF gauge until I was sure where the variation was coming from. (carbon on valves and the HF gauge) THen I settled on the Snappy gauge, and got consistent results. (One place where the HF tool is not up to par.) To be fair, my cheap one was from some online place, not HF, but the HF one at the time was essentially the same design.
