I hope this helps you. this is out of an old shop manual dated 1959. covers models OM636 and OM 621, 170DS & SD thru 190DC.

I also have a Chilton`s printed in 1974 covering models to year 1970.
190C thru 300SEL/6.3
That would be the last picture.

I just reread this, you want exactly what torque settings? I originally posted this in the middle of the night and it didn`t register then. I was just thinking valve adjtments.

I took those pic in the kitchen and the lighting wasn`t too good and a flash really screwed it up.

there were three HP ratings on the OM616...

1) Not much power
2) Even less power
3) Not nearly enough power!! 240D w/auto

Anyone that thinks a 240D is slow drives too fast.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
