Nailing after valve adjustment
Hello all,
Over the weekend, I adjusted my valves. Now I'm experiencing more (what sounds like) nailing than ever before. Some nailing at cold idle and REALLY bad nailing right before a shift at higher RPM's. I'm going to recheck the valves this weekend. Any thoughts? Thanks as always,

Your MPG is bad if the valve adjustment is wrong... I suggest you read this thread and all the cross link threads first. Valve adjustment OM617 FYI. http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/107729-valve-adjustment-om615-616-617-fyi.html#post743361

Possible mix up of intake and exhaust valves????
Possibly left one loose??? I agree, better recheck your adjustment. And I don't think it would be a good idea to wait at all.

I think that is a good idea. Let us know. BTW, wagons should be a 300TD whether they are turbo or not. The year will speak as to whether it is turbo. Yes, some places, even within the Benz mothership denote them as a 300TDT, but don't let their "loose" nomenclature cause you to do it wrong....... [this is a general paragraph, not aimed at TchTchr]
