OM617 Worth keeping spare?
Hi Guys,
I'm going to be junking my one 82 300SD (green). The body has seen better days. I have another 300SD (gold) that I'm going to be restoring eventually.
At some point I thought "hey I'll pull the 617 out of the green SD and store it." Now I'm questioning that logic and only thinking I should save important bits like the injection pump and turbo (it was recently rebuilt).
The gold SD has 144k or so. The green has 283K. The motor was allegedly rebuilt a bit before we bought it in 2007.
What do you guys think?
