Re: [MBZ] Who was it that replaced their #1 rod?
Looked the same. A bit heavier, don't recall how much. According to the dealer, there had been several updates to the rod. Each one heavier than the last. Numbers on the piece were different. I lost a hard drive since then and don't have the numbers anymore. -Dave Walton On Sat, Nov 14, 2009 at 7:47 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin wrote: > Was it with one of the updated improved rods?

Was it with one of the updated improved rods? With them side by side, could you tell much difference between the old and the new? dave walton wrote: I replaced just the #1 rod at 180,000 miles.

Re: [MBZ] Who was it that replaced their #1 rod?
H Y L O M A R The torque instructions say to use "wet" head bolts. Lubricate them with motor oil just before tightening. You want the resistance to come from bolt stretch, not friction. -Dave Walton On Sat, Nov 14, 2009 at 5:58 PM, Michael LaFleur wrote: > All the rods have to be with a certain number of grams in weight from each > other.

Re: [MBZ] Who was it that replaced their #1 rod?
All the rods have to be with a certain number of grams in weight from each other. I can't remember what it is exactly. My book is a couple of thousand miles away. Did you remove one of the others to balance the new one? I reused the head bolts on my OM603.961 rebuild and they were all within spec. A few months later I found coolant in my #5 cylinder. I don't know if it was the head gasket (it looks good) or head bolts.
