Thanks Dan, I'm on it... I emailed the guy to pick up two of them. He has enough to change the market on these things. They're still available new from benz, list price is $630. Which, oddly enough when considering how much everything else is for this engine, is not really that bad. The water pump lists for over $1000, and I just bought one of those!

[MBZ] OT - No Sondy Tale, but BUFF Stuff
Nope, not a Sondy Tale, but BUFF (B-52) Stuff: If ya've seen this before, please pardon the redundancy. FROZEN FANNY By Wilton Strickland During the winter of 1973-74, while I was on a B-52H combat crew at Kincheloe AFB, MI, the crew co-pilot, Frank Baehre, and I attended a dinner party with our wives at the Officers Club one evening while on alert with nuclear weapons and ready to launch at a moment's notice to strike targets in the Soviet Union. Because I was going to be inside the club building for three or four hours, I had removed my thermal underwear, and was wearing only my cotton under shorts, T-shirt, Nomex flight suit, and street shoes and socks. While traveling from the alert facility to the club and back, I also wore a flight parka with a hood (waist-length heavy coat) and gloves. As usual, we had additional cold weather clothing on the aircraft we could don if we were suddenly called upon to fly during this time. On this particular day, as on many days in the Michigan Upper Peninsula, it had snowed hard all day. Arriving back at the alert facility after the party, we got our crew-cab truck stuck in deep snow near our parking space, and as we tried to free the vehicle, one of the snow chains came off a rear wheel. Using snow shovels, Frank and I worked for several minutes to remove snow from beneath the vehicle and reinstall the chain. After we had finally parked the vehicle in the appropriate space, we went inside the building, where a movie was playing in the briefing room. I stepped inside the briefing room, stood and watched the screen for a couple of minutes, then took a seat on the front row to watch the rest of the movie. As I sat down, though, I suddenly felt significant pain in the buttocks area - I had frozen my buttocks! While I shoveled snow and reinstalled the chain, my thin flight suit and under shorts were pulled tightly across my buttocks, which were elevated to the full fury of the blizzard as I bent to the task. The skin on my buttocks came off like sunburn, and the area itched slightly for years. So, you see, I literally froze my fanny off for Uncle Sam, and no, I did not claim a Purple Heart for it. Oh, by the way, I never stood around scratching the itch, either - I quietly and simply endured it.

Re: [MBZ] ON TOPIC! OM617 Injection pump delivery valves
That's for the 33 point spline DV's (as found on the Bosch "M" series pumps), right? (And those values are Nm?) I thought that (most) of the 61x's used a "MW" series pump, with the hexagonal DV, which is 50Nm in one step. -- John W Reames jream...@verizon.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On Oct 14, 2013, at 10:50, Peter Frederick wrote: > They are all the same -- the procedure is to seal the copper washers properly. > > Peter > > ___ > 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
