An important thing to note on nozzles for OM616 and OM617 is that the central hole in the pintle provides a pilot injection. This helps reduce soot and improve power. Over the years Mercedes enlarged the central hole and increased power. If the replacement nozzles don't have this hole you aren't going to get out as much power as you can with correct nozzles.
