The markings are either engraved or cast, not printed. All the OEM gears I've come across have the markings. They're really tiny on the innermost white gear, but the others are a bit bigger. They're...

No need to remove the injector pump. Rebuilding the injectors in my 300SD really made a difference. I chose to go all out and build an injector pop-tester and to shim them to where they're all...

You're correct: 4th gear is 1:1, and it looks like you've calculated RPMs correctly also.

In my '84 300SD, 3000 RPM is just above 70 MPH. 85 MPH puts me at ~3600 RPM. There is no "redline"...

My '84 300SD only has two capacitors: a 220uF and a 47uF also. It looks like the markings on your capacitor are stamped off-center resulting in the side of the "4" not showing up. Funny, though,...

What is the best source for the 1 bar (14.5 PSI) cap? The ones at Auto HausAZ are 1.2 and 1.4 bar. Napa and AutoZone only show 16 PSI caps (1.1 bar).
