Great tip

I've heard of using oil. Great advice. I just rebuilt top of injection pump. One of my torn up thread shavings from the prechamber had wedged itself on the backside of the 32 tooth nuts. It...

Its working

Car is up and running. Prechamber pull and replacement has been a success. Now, I've got to return bunch of parts for the aborted head gasket replacement.

Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest

This worked. It probably would not have been necessary if I'd removed the glow plug! I guess if one bought the tool and legitimately could not get the prechamber removed after one attempt, then I'd...

Nimonic 80a

Nimonic 80a is the steel in the prechamber. Has melting point almost 2500 Farenheit. That's pretty different from regular steel and double aluminum melting point.... No go?

Welding

Just spoke to machine shop. They won't work on a car directly, but the guy sounded confident that it could be welded. Stated melting point of tool is probably lower than the prechamber. Would take...

JBWeld attempt

Welding the tool would be too much heat on the head. I had made a thread chaser of sorts before by beveling out some channels on an old injector body. Would the tap work better? I am thinking...

Thanks

Wish I had done the JBweld before the two failed attempts. That might have worked. The threads are so gone I think it would surely just break loose. I wonder about welding? Might be something a...

Penetrating oil

I've been doing this on my 1993 300sd mercs. I did plumbers torch (used yellow kind which is hotter). I researched and found that an extremely effective penetrant is a 50/50 mix of acetone/atf. ...

Correction

I miswrote. The retaining ring was a pain to get off. I used a 50/50 mix of acetone/atf and let soak overnite. Used plumbing torch on metal before putting penetrant around. Ditto on prechambers. ...

This is a great suggestion. My puller's threads are trashed from trying to get the injector out. I don't see any harm in trying this.

Plan Z

Thanks for reply

Thanks for the great reply. I'll probably get a set of OEM Ina lifters and return them if not needed. Machine shop seemed keen to handle any issues with valves. I'll cough up for Merc valve seal...

Has anyone swapped in the earlier engines? I would think they might even fare worse with the weight of a W140. 1986-87 turbodiesels. Are those the best engines in a W126? Maybe I should just get...
