617 engine question
Bear with me folks, I am fairly new to the world of MB diesels, have experience with diesel trucks, tractors, etc. The information I have on my 617 is that it is a sleeve type engine (T/F?), but in some of the posts, reference is made to boring out the block for a rebuild and using OS pistons, which are available from the suppliers I have checked. But, sleeves are available as well. Are they like tractors where you pull 'em and replace 'em, or do they have to be pressed in on the MB with special tools/equipment?
Thanx.
