Small update:

I got the proper prechamber tool. it's the same one used on the OM617 motors. Later W124's use the splined socket.

So the prechamber collar removal/cleaning/re-torquing went well. While I had the injectors out I pop tested them. All six were around 1400 psi. too low

So I ordered up some shims, and a lapping kit.

Got everybody shimed up to 2100 psi, lapped the bodies, torqued to spec and re-installed this Saturday.

Took a test drive, and at every red light light the car was shaking like I had bad engine mounts. . . .

2 of the injectors were leaking SO BAD diesel was basically pouring out. I was very careful on cleaning/rebuilding etc. . .I was quite dissapointed at my work.

So today, I take a bad leaker out. Clean it up again, being extra super careful. Went to torque it back together, and something BROKE

injector back apart, I somehow broke the top small piece that slides inside the nozzle. I have no idea how I managed this debacle.

So these are decent 50k or less Bosio nozzles. My friend is a Bosio dealer, so I drive over to him to see what he can do.

We are waiting on a answer from Italy. . . If I can get a nozzle fairly quickly I will just replace the one nozzle. But If I have to wait like 6 weeks. . . .I getting a whole set of injectors.

Man! I just want to cruise in this car. I got a new hose for the AC. . so my plan was motor running sweet. Ac blowing cold. Summer weekend cruising here I come!

Best laid plans. . . . .
