different engine plates???!!!
I'm getting close to bolting an OM616 up to my 1967 SIIa Land Rover. I have an adapter plate made by a guy that has already done this conversion with success. In trying to bolt the adapter plate up to the aluminum engine plate/flywheel housing, one of the studs was totally off.
Were there different versions of these engine plates throughout the years? This motor is out of a 1980 240D. Thanks! |

Which bolt?

Looking at the motor from the rear, the stud on the adapter that is off is at the 9:30 position, which is a bit off from two holes through the engine plate on that left side. I'm not in front of it now, but I remember the two holes on the left side being oriented straight up and down (from the ground up).

The plate on my '79 240D engine and '80 300SD engine were the same.

As was my 80 240D and 82 300TD.

thanks, guys.
After emailing the guy who fabs up the adapters, he mentioned that this happened to one other that did a similar conversion. Sounds like two different plates with slightly different bolt patterns. It will still work though - just have to remove the rogue stud. |
