Hi, I'm rebuilding a 1982 turbo diesel engine and looking for a crankshaft gear PN 6170520003. I would prefer NOS but will consider a good used one. Thanks, Scott

Wow I thought that would be easy to find.

Well it is still out there according to many sites but - wow (again) - what a price.

Good luck with the search.

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

I've got a turbo 617 parts engine and a 617 N/A parts engine. I'll ck and see if I've got the gear. Do you think the same gear is used on turbo or N/A?

The non turbo OM617 has a different cog down there because the oil pump is driven from the intermediate shaft on that engine - rather than the extra cog (on the turbo) for the extra chain for the (turbo) oil pump. So the turbo OM617 needs the "double cog"...

...next "logical" step might be to think that perhaps two non turbo cogs side by side could be done but I'm guessing life in Mercedes land isn't that simple!
