The 616 will ONLY fit in a W115 if it has a remote oil filter --
otherwise the oil filter occupies the same space as the fender

Finally got the head off. Had to remove water pump, etc. and fabricated a
puller for the timing chain rail pin using a hose clamp and a bolt. The
pin came out nicely and I removed the rail and lifted off the head.
Everything looked fine...except that 3 pistons were at TDC! #2 piston was

You did grind the rail while it was installed in the engine, didn't you?
If so, what did you do with the grinding dust?

There is a bolt pin done by the crank balancer that holds the rail in
place. Screw a bolt into it (or use the fancy Benz tool if you can
locate one) and pull the pin out to release the rail. You will need
to align the slot in the balancer with the pin to pull it.
You CAN get the head off
I am trying to remove the head on the 72 220D (long story why).
Everything is out and loose but the timing chain tensioner rail is
interfering with the head. It looks like the rail is every bit as
wide as the slot in the head. Do I need to remove the tensioner rail

Sounds like a 2x4 in the oil pan
We looked in there, as best one can through the
small (front) pan's hole. Nothing obviously wrong.
Any bolts down near the crank that may have been replace with
ones that are too long?
Looks OK, and the pan bolts look long-undisturbed.

I vote for a chain issue. As Craig said, pull the chain out
completely, then see what happens.
A long time ago, I was working on an OM621 (basically similar to
OM615-616) and dropped the center link of the master link when it
slipped. The link dropped down in the chain cavity. I tried fishin

Just a wild guess - but could alink or two be rusted together and not
willing to go around a sprocket, or not willing to straighten out when
it
gets to a rail? Sounds like it was open to the world for some time.
It was open for considerable time, but the exposed parts of the

Check for a loose bolt pin as well. You may also want to pull the

So today I went to the neighbors' again and we had
another surgery session on the former blackberry patch
also known as the $100 220D. (Some kid had taken off the
head, and even removed the gallery plugs.) We've been
slowly reassembling the thing to see if it's any good,
spending as little as hu

Why, so it could be even slower?
The good Lord intended Vanagons to have Subaru engines in them.

The audi wasn't worth that much new. Those things were a wiring problem
waiting to happen, at least all the dead and dying ones that crossed my
path not long after they were new.
Too bad the syncro isn't a diesel.
