I have no info for you. I thought it would be wrong of me not to post. Just make good measurments, which I am sure you already have. Excellent Idea never heard of anyone doing that. Just so you know those power-plants have very good Mpg on the highway. some have been able to do well over 75 and still get close to 30 mpg. when you start the mods for more power and efficentcy I would starrt with the Pistons. look at the way the fuel has eched a path on them. The preinjection chamber I would leave alone. The piston is the area to look at for now. The Pumps are euro boch and are capeable of 3200psi in stock form.

Very rarely. Mid-20's is more accurate.
Thats the very last place to even consider touching.
That is not an etch, its part of the casting.

I don't have any experince with any of the mercede's diesels but I hear that one is a pretty good engine. If you really want a lot of info start searching around www.4btswaps.com They have a complete section on the mecerdes engines.

Just be careful with the ballance of the flywheel when swapping. The factory ballanced each motor individually as a complete assembly, making the finall adjustments for ballance on the flywheel. So each flywheel has different ballance. Make sure you mark the position of the flywheel to crank (the hole spacing is even) so you can match the ballance of your new flywheel. You should be happy with the performance of the stock motor in the jeep so long as you have the valves adj. properly, free flow exhaust,egr delete, cold air intake, good injectors and the correct gearing (around 411 depending on the tire size) good luck!

Thats the very last place to even consider touching. (your probably right. I have seen to much and have gone info happy the wrong direction. Rustin)
That is not an etch, its part of the casting. (Hold on now. I am talking about how the fuel creats an etching (well more like cleans a path) over the casting, kinda like a star pattern that a cummins or Dmax makes when you over fuel or advance fuel timing. My appologies for not being more clear and less vague. I was trying to get him to ask questions. then let the info fly. Rustin)

This is a far better resource: superturbodiesel.com - tuning performance turbo diesel mercedes, W123, W116 and up. OM617, OM60X
