Well it was a nice day so my dad suggested we tinker with the Merc a little. Since I have not gotten the manuals yet and have no parts we couldn't do the glow plugs. But we Gunked the engine and cleaned it real well and traced some leaks. The 2nd injector back is leaking real bad from that braided hose on top. You guys were right, boy can those suckers leak! I also found out my transmission lines are leaking, and theres a colent leak comeing from somewhere but thats not important now. What else I found is a little bigger problem. As some of you guys know my car is a little harder to start and skips more than it should, well I think I've found out why. When I was listening to the engine I heard a different "clatter" not the normal kind but a distinct sound that didn't sound right. I guess you would call it "nailing." So useing a piece of wood we traced to back to the 4th and 6th injectors. You could feel it in the fuel lines if that makes sense. When the fuel lines were cracked on the 4th the sound went away and it improved when no. 6 was cracked. So now I guess I need a set of injectors, my queston is can I just buy 6 off FastLane and put them in, or do they have to be set? I talked to a very good diesel mechanic and he said on some of the larger diesels one injecter might be used on a few engines and then they would have to be set. He said these should be fine and to just screw them in. What say you?
BTW he also said the proper term for them is nozzels not injectors. This engine doesn't have injectors.
Sorry for the long post.
