1959 Mercedes 180D

Does anyone have the valve clearances for both intake and exhaust, and torque measurements for the engine of a 1959 Mercedes 180D? I have tried www.mbzponton.org but to no avail.
Thanks

I'm going to have to put the diesel numbers in there.

I read the the article and it was good! Now back to researching the rest of the technical items, before I start on anything.
I appreciate it, Thanks.

180D Valve clearance

I=.20 mm

E=.15 mm

Valves are to be set when cold.

Or....

I=.008 in.

E=.006 in.

These numbers come from a 'Glenn's' Repair Manual from 1966.

Torque numbers are not mentioned in this manual, but this might get you started.
