Comments about Euro vs US specs

If you go to www.febi.com and fill in the data for a OM617 engine you see that there are 3 power options listed:-

59(80)
65(88)
92(125) which is the turbo

I don't know how these power ratings compare with cam profile though. Febi state you need the same part (01307 Febi P/N) for both the 59(80) and 65(88) powered engines. But that's just Febi.

I'm off to the dealer on Wednesday for a fact finding mission - I'll see what I can unearth for the standard cams.

If you want to see more information about a dealer sourced non-turbo Euro cam have a look here:-

OM617 (non turbo) cam profile specs, piston height specs etc

Where I have measured it - objective rather than subjective.
