How Fast Is an OM617?

The answer is 121.2284 in a mile. WITH A SLIPPING CLUTCH! Mutt bumped the record by 20 MPH in our class with a badly slipping clutch.

Goran (Dieselmeken) turned me onto a Euro clutch fix. It turns out that there are no performance clutch parts for a 300SD/240D engine/trans combo....... or ARE there??!! The guys in Europe run a BMW 320i disc which is available in a performance version. I have an FX Stage 3 unit sitting here which has a 6 puck sintered copper friction surface. It came in a kit with the performance pressure plate and while I can't be sure until I get everything out and measured it looks like it might fit, too. I'll keep y'all posted on that.

For the first time I actually had too much EGT. It peaked at 1320 or so for just a couple of seconds right at the finish line. I wasn't running the intercooler but I'm not sure how much effect that will have on the EGT anyhow. So a bit more research is needed.

I'm guessing 130 is in our future.
