No time to waste, lets get to the OM617!



This looks to be a bit easier. Notice the cute STT turbo kit intercooler on the left (conical air filter removed already). I reckon the turbo kit will be worth at least something...tho engine will be included for free



Another picture of the STT turbo kit with intake removed, I like!



Here we have some lebensraum, as opposed to working in the W124 engine bay.



On the W460, lift height will be a problem. We need to make the engine slimmer. Off with intake, exhaust, fan, generator and power steering - besides radiator.



Nice and easy, no need to grind anything off this time around!



Interesting find on engine mounts. They look to be in a pretty good condition, but I was surprised that they weren't in level? Is this standard equipment? I read of an aussie who had reused these mounts when putting the OM606 in.



That's it this time around! I'm going to be off for vacation for a while, we'll have to see about the next update!
