used 116 parts cars inspection tips
I'm planning to check out a couple of these later today. One without a starter, possibly without an alternator as well.
Anyone want to rant off a list of things to check over on these? I'm mainly interested in the om617 engines and trannies.

wiggle the turbo impeller. see if there is excessive play. up down bad, in out, little is ok, lot is bad. pull the injectors and see if they are cruddy or rusty.
best to spin it over. you may need to install a starter.... I would skip the missing starter choices. at least get a 27MM socket and turn over the crank to check for locked up motor. John

Needs to be a deep socket, right?

no, but if you don't have a deep socket, you will need a short extension.
and if you do have a deep socket, use it on the injectors too. John
