If the wires to the plugs were too small (like in Phillip's #3 diagram) would they just melt or would the plugs be starved for power? The extra resistance will cause extra voltage drop - so low voltage at the plugs. And if the condition was too extreme - or lasted too long, the wires could melt. Then, just to aggravate the situation, as copper gets hot, it's resistance increases thereby making the voltage drop worse. -- Philip ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

That included the early pencil type replacements for Series GP. My first set was 60 Second. The second set was 15 second. Makes a difference. I guess that must be true. Based on it taking 60+ seconds of glow at ~40F to start the car I'm thinking I've got a bad plug. If the wires to the plugs were too small (like in Phillip's #3 diagram) would they just melt or would the plugs be starved for power? -Curt Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 17:13:33 -0800 From: Jim Cathey j...@windwireless.net To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Glow plug conversion Q.

Re: [MBZ] Glow plug conversion Q.
Well considering they work and the ground strap is definitely disconnected then they must be parallel plugs. The wires are all the same size, at the insulation they're about 1/4 diameter... So maybe with larger wires (or proper parallel wires) they'd heat faster anyway? Interesting. I think I'm going to both make up new wires (maybe 10ga, I like to go overboard) and install the new plugs and see how it goes. -Curt Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 22:13:25 -0500 From: Fmiser fmi...@gmail.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Glow plug conversion Q.

Thanks :) I make money doing that sort of thing so I ought to be decent at it. Mine is like the bottom example already, as I said originally the ground wire at the end is NOT attached to anything, its just hanging there. If there is only one electrical connection on each plug, those are _NOT_ series plugs. And if any of them work at all with the ground strap disconnected, those are _NOT_ series plugs. Series plugs would be totally disabled (all 4 of them) with the ground strap off. So maybe I'll try it, and maybe I'll go back and make new wires from each plug to the relay just to be sure, for the short term anyway. #2 mimics the way Mercedes built their parallel system. It also #avoids having to use a huge wire to the first one. To get the equivalent of a 12 AWG wire to each done up the way shown in #3 it would require: 6 AWG from the relay to cyl 4 7 AWG from cyl 4 to cyl 3 9 AWG from cyl 3 to cyl 2 12 AWG from cyl 2 to cyl 1 -- Philip ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] OM617 - Identifying real crank position
Ok, so I've replaced the chain in my 617.910. It is now perhaps half a degree better than it was before the chain replacement, but the crank scale is still reading 15+ degrees ATDC when the cam notch is lined up with the mark! (pics attached) Given the measurement margin of error, the 15 degree offset seems suspiciously close to the 18 degree offset produced when the chain is off by one tooth at the cam. I'm wondering if it skipped a tooth at some point in the past, perhaps when the chain was replaced previously (it was an IWIS chain and had almost no wear). I know this skip didn't happen during my recent chain replacement, because at no point was either end of the chain not under tension or out of contact with the cam gear. I didn't even remove the tensioner. In any case, before I go further I need to determine whether the crank scale's indicated TDC really is TDC... Apart from the scale, is there any other externally visible reference mark on the crankshaft? I want to rule out that the harmonic balancer/scale has come loose or wandered, something that seems to happen occasionally, eg if someone impatiently reinstalled it during front seal replacement. If possible, I'd rather not have to remove a prechamber to check piston position, so I'm hoping maybe there's some kind of reference mark on the crankshaft that can be checked against the scale. And given how hard it sounds like it is to properly install the balancer once removed, I'd rather not touch that either if I can avoid it. Would removing the lower oil pan be an option as a means of seeing the movement of #1 conn rod towards TDC? I haven't checked if the pan can be removed in-situ, but intuitively it seems like perhaps it could... D. -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [MBZ] OM617 - Identifying real crank position
Yes, you can remove the bottom oil pan. Messy, but should work. You can also pull the #1 prechamber and use something like a coat hanger wire to determine when the piston is at TDC. Even just pulling the injector or glow plug should let you know if you are close. Stops blowing and starts sucking in air at TDC on the compression stroke. Or you can assume you have jumped a tooth, which is rather common -- I've done it twice. I believe they are 13 degrees each, so it ads up pretty well, and you would be within 2 degrees if you move the cam sprocket. It will run just fine, although low on power with the cam 15 degrees late. 15 advance and the pistons hit the valves.

[MBZ] another success
I had similar success some years back when I stripped the lacquer from and resoldered the CC PCB in my '84 300D as it's been working fine ever since and, now that I recently acquired an '85 300TD with a spastic CC, I've done the same with this one and tested it the other day and all functions are working fine . . . a far cry from the unusual performance of the resoldered (3X) ACC PB unit in my '84 300D, as it's still maximum heat no matter the setting of the temp wheel. I may go to a local junkyard which I've found has a few MBs and see what they want for an ACC PB and temp. controller unit. G. M.

Re: [MBZ] OM617 - Identifying real crank position
To me it is easier, (and the book procedure) to pull #1 nozzle and the prechamber. Then you put a 1/8 rod in and monitor as it comes up. Mark (on the damper) where it stops rising. Mark again where it starts to fall. In between is TDC. Do this for several turns. That confirms the accuracy. This procedure is in the OM621 book. It may be in the OM616/617 book also. BTW, my 70 R75/5 came with the perfect rod as part of the toolkit. (used to determine TDC on the BMW) Ok, so I've replaced the chain in my 617.910.

Craig wrote: In any case, before I go further I need to determine whether the crank scale's indicated TDC really is TDC... That would be a good idea. I just got home from swapping the harmonic balancer on a friend's Toyota. Last summer when he broke the timing belt, we discovered that the timing mark was about 70 degrees off from where the pistons were. Balancer looked OK, so we just slapped it back together. This week he started having accessory drive problems. The balancer had failed and the pulley was trying to chew a hole in the timing cover. The moral to the story is that if the timing mark on the balancer is incorrect, replace the balancer NOW.

Re: [MBZ] Maybach Diesel
I agree, lets see if Rusty can do us a group discount on some Maybach badge kits. Even though it was done as a joke on the diesel, I have to say, with the colour of the car, the badges looked, almost at home.

Good name for a Chinee knockoff airline. QUANTAS#U know! So, where'd the missing u go to? Sounds like a business opportunity for another airline! (flying DC or MD planes).
