I've got a OM617 out of a 83 300d, with right at 200k miles. I'm scrapping the body, selling the good parts.
I've got a video of the engine running, with the coolant temp, etc.
Just shoot me an offer. If engine doesn't sell, I'll disassemble it and part it out too.
Thx.

Got any comp. test numbers?

Yes, on the om617 engine, compression test. 1-280, 2-240, 3-300, 4-270, 5-280. That's with not messing with the valves or anything. Engine was cold. My tester had a little leak. #2 was lower, but the thing sat for 2 years, fresh battery installed, glowed, and started right up. Don't know when the valves were last adjusted.

Engine and tranny are sold. Got a lot of other parts.

Shoot! I was about to ask you to box it up and get me a shipping quote.

I've got another OM617 that spun a couple rod bearings that I'm going to be disassembling and parting out if any parts are needed.
Thx.
