After looking at the top end I would pull off the lower pan, many times its #1 that goes, which you can see with the lower pan off. Good luck

it sounds like either a badly slipped timing chain or a broken timing chain which can happen if the vac pump breaks and pieces fall down and break the timing chain by getting between the chain and the sprocket.
my 82 300td did this. it was making fa unny noise. i didn't ignore them but they were not there all the time and when i took it to a mechanic of course it sounded fine. so the moral is never ignore a bad noise until you find out for sure what is making it. oh yeah, they WILL run with a broken rod. but not for long. i bought a 240 with a broken rod and put in a couple quarts of oil and drove it onto the trailer on three cylinders. kindof messy though. oil everywhere. now a pushrod engine usually will take out the cam so they usually will not run after blowing a rod. good luck. glad you have found a good motor donor car. they are out there if you look. tom w

My vacuum pump did this also. Heard the weird noise and ran diesel purge. It did not help. Broke the timing chain a couple weeks later. I actually cracked the valve cover when mine broke. Could explain the oil all over the place. Definitely have your vacuum pump checked.

The lower pan can be removed which gives access to #1

Could be lots of things -- broken timing chain, broken crank (my brother blew one in his 75 300D -- junk in the oil passages from a crap rebuild).
Only way to tell is pull it and take a look. Replacement engines are readily available at fairly reasonable cost, as the body usualy goes before the drivetrain. What kind of noise did it make before it blew? Clank, rattle, deep hammering noise on acceleration? I'm in Evansville, IN. Peter

[quote=Whiskeydan;1466933]Tell us how you dealt with the oil pan/steering linkage interference.[/quote.]
I used a front sump oil pan, and pick-up. Set-up for a 63, Chevy Nova. It eliminated all interference, with cross member. For the headers, I used "Shorties", as they call them. The drivers side needed some slight "Modification" to the header pipe, around the steering box/shaft. I used a high torque mini-starter, to get it all cranked up. Came out nice, as if Mercedes, had built it themselves... |
