I do not think the OM617 has a crossover tube. Please elaborate, as I have been wrong many times before.

The seals on the U-tube have been replaced, as has the air filter, etc a few weeks ago. This just started on Tuesday.

Also the turbo shaft spins freely, and there is no side to side play, but you can just feel end to end play.

Yes, it is strange.

Thanks!
