Why not just trust your A/B light and make the adjustment? Short of someone having twisted the pump around, and I can’t imagine it could move that far, the A/B light should be dead nuts accurate. I think you’re making far more out of this than it needs to be. -D

Re: [MBZ] OM617 motor mounts

It’s a personal preference, but I prefer to do one side at a time rather than both. I think it’s easier to get things lined up when you do one at a time, as the side that’s still anchored serves as a reference point. I loosen everything with the engine in place, then remove the fasteners on one

My big tip: Be sure you have the right torque values for all the fasteners. My '85 wagon was non-turbo, but I mistakenly used the turbo engine procedure and the torque spec is far higher. I twisted off a fastener, had to order a new one from MB. Took a few days to get it. I think I was able

That stretch sounds right. If the pointer was close to TDC when you had the drill bit shoved into the hole, that's not your problem and you need to pull and adjust the IP. DON'T FORGET to get a new oil seal o-ring for the IP!!! - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Aug 14, 2021 at 6:49 PM

Re: [MBZ] [Daveslist] 606 ip timing

I just pulled the valve cover. Apparently there is a special tool you use to stick in a hole at tdc. I did not have that so I just used a drill bit of a size that fits in the hole. It’s not exact but should be close enough and shows maybe 1-2 degrees of stretch at 207k miles. Looks good to me.

Re: [MBZ] [Daveslist] 606 ip timing

So if the pointer got moved, but the pump didn't ever get moved, then most likely the chain is now stretched and the pump is late. So if you just want to take a guess and move the pump to see if you can improve the smoke situation, then I'd say advance it a few degrees and see how she runs.

Re: [MBZ] [Daveslist] 606 ip timing

Yes you need to pull the vacuum pump, and the nut on the end of the IP shaft is backward - left-handed thread, IIRC. If you go that far and pull the IP, the oil seal (big o-ring) on the injection pump may start leaking, if you don't replace it. - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Aug 14,

Either that or the pump was removed at some point and when reinstalled was off a tooth. Perhaps I should just pull the pump and see. Oh wait, won’t I also have to pull the vacuum pump as well? Not really sure I want to get into all that although it probably won’t take all that long since I have
