In particular I'd like to see an approach to measuring cylinder wear that's more technical/accurate
than "the cylinder isn't scored and looks round". The tolerances would imply the use of a custom bore gage to "get it right". And measuring taper in a deep hole ain't the easiest thing to do. So, take lots of pictures, and explain your method! Cylinder fitment is key to good power, especially on a N/A diesel. --frankb Quote:

My personal feelings on the matter of bore measurement is that it's best left to a machine shop. Why? Well, for one thing, the telescoping bore gauges are prohibitively expensive. Second, it actually takes some practise and skill before one can get repeatable measurements with such gauges. I've tried it with borrowed bore gauges, and still can't do it right. Taking the measurement is almost an art, and if you are inexperienced, it's worth paying the machine shop to check out. Besides, if it all checks out, you can then pay them $10 a hole to hone the bores, and you'll still be money ahead versus buying a hone and trying to do it yourself.

FWIW, the 617 isn't a deep bore. When I rebuilt my Ford 300-6 (the third or fourth one I've done) I did four measurements per bore- Two 90 degrees apart at the top just below the ridge, and another two 90 degrees apart at the bottom of the wear area. Due to wear, I had to bore it to 4.080" and use .030" oversize pistons for a Ford 360, bumping my compression to 9.8:1, but that's a whole other story. That was a 3.98" stroke vs the 3.5" stroke of the 617, with a taller deck height as well. It was a little easier due to the larger bore, but I've measured out Subaru engines with an 82mm bore vs the 90mm bore of the 617. |

I've just done an engine removal thread here:- How I took out my 1981 W123 300D (euro) non-turbo engine From this you can see how in-depth the engine rebuild thread could be. I think engine removal is pretty tedious - I don't want to bore anyone with the rebuild thread if it goes ahead!

That's an awesome engine removal thread. It is really going to help me when I swap engines in the not-to-distant future. Mucho thanks! With any luck the response to the rebuilt poll will be overwhelmingly positive, and I'll benefit from that as well.
Kurt

We have a sitting dead 80 300td that needs his heart restarted. I would really appreciate a ridiculously thorough N/A rebuild thread. You would truly be doing us a solid.

I started writing my War and Peace sized engine rebuild thread yesterday - Webmaster please buy some more disc space! Hopefully I'll finish it before Christmas...
