60x Monarks *apparently* compatible in a 617?

[bamba]

To my knowledge, Monarks have not been available for a few years. But most of us know there was a contract-based production run by Wolfswerke-sachsen that were recently sold (and branded) by Mercedes5ource. I just learned they are all sold out of those #120 nozzles for the 617.

Well, apparently Mercedes5ource is now selling their stock of new Wolfswerke-sachsen #128 nozzles -- which were originally made for 60x engines -- as being compatible with 61x engines as well. It's on their website, along with a video showing some bench testing.

Thoughts on this? True that the injectors fit in the older 617 holders, and the pop pressure seems similar, around 1900 PSI. But I'm a little hesitant. Would you try them in your 617?

Ya know... there is a reason this forum blocks typing that website name.
The man is a crook.
Sure his videos are helpful in a salesman kind of way.

To each their own i guess...

I have run DN0SD265 and DN0SD314 nozzles in my 617s.

My understanding is the 265 is the latest revision for the 617 and 616 engines, and the 314 was for the 606 engines.

The geometry of the tips is different, which atomizes the fuel differently, which makes it burn differently.

The 314s feel like they have a smidgen more low end torque than the 265s to me, but both perform similarly otherwise.
