But I really want a 240d OH shoot might as well JUST go look just to see it not buy it well Ill bring cash just in case. But really just to look at it really. I have self control I DO.

Forget Santa Cruz. If you want a 240D, go to Napa.

I bought it
Well I Bought it the paint is real nice. The interior is fair the front end was rebuilt 2 years ago. It has a pink slip not a salvage slip He blew the motor and bought a junkyard motor that was guaranteed good. Compression #1 0lbs #2 235 #3 245 #4 290 he installed new clutch motor tranny mounts with engine. The junkyard said they would give him another motor he said screw you give me my money back. The Best part is, sunroof is manual crank, windows are manual crank. And pick-n-pull has complete engines $77 and they have what I think will check out to be a very good 240d motor I was looking at the other day 230k miles and this thing never leaked a drop of oil very clean well maintained car till some one rear ended it. Now if I only had the garage the other board member has that was shown in the, what tools do you own thread. This is one MBZ I have been looking for I miss shifting a great deal and you can race the hell out of it and never get a speeding ticket.
I pick it up at 10am Sunday morning. Now the downside I have to tell the wife well then again maybe she won’t notice? Dave S

The bore size of number one is different from the others... if someone rebuilt it without knowing that it could sure affect the compression in number one....

I have never heard of an engine having a different bore diameter on one or more cylinders. Please explain. Tony

So you suspect that I sometimes make stuff up just to see if people are reading my posts close ?
I don't know why but this is the truth... MB is very strange on many things....

So, if you buy a set of rings for the OM616, it has a different one for #1 piston ?
All of the engines I have ever had anything to do with are spec'd to xx mm Bore X yy mm Stroke. Never #1 aa mm Bore, #2 bb mm bore, #3 cc mm bore #4 dd mm bore X yy mm stroke. So when My OM617 engine needs a rebuild, do I need to order a different ring set for #1 piston too?? Can you show me where in the FSM this is detailed? This would play havoc with their spare parts holding too. Are you sure that it wasn't just one engine (someone doing a "cheap" repair) on which you found this. This is just so STRANGE.

I just made this up to see who would ' bite' ....
No, seriously, and after thinking about it... but not researching it.... this may have happened when they decided to ' desize' the 240 engine for TAX in Europe purposes... since these cylinders are sleeved... it may have been cheaper to just change the thickness of the number one cylinder and the stuff that would affect.... Man, that was close.. was afraid I was not going to be able to come up with a legitimate sounding reason...
