Does anyone market an engine rebuild kit for an OM617? At some point I'd like to freshen up an engine for the race truck and it's usually a better deal to get all the fresh bits from one vendor. It also helps assure that the rings match the pistons, etc. I Googled for such a kit but so far no luck (maybe my search term is no good - I used "OM617 engine rebuild kit").

Anyhow - another question - is there such a thing as a 617 crate engine? Again it's sometimes cheaper to buy the long block ready to go rather than get the machine work done, etc.

Just sort of thinkin' out loud here.
