OM602 Turbo Rebuild.

[Lecker_Cidre]

Hello, I am a brand-new diesel Mercedes owner, I bought a 1993 W124 300D with 263,000 miles which had a knock. The owner didn't know what it was and just wanted to get rid of it. It's a nice southern car with little rust.

I posted on BenzWorld.org trying to diagnose it and eventually found out that the #3 conrod bearing destroyed itself. Probably due to running it with low oil in the past.

Now I'm looking for a list of what I will need to successfully rebuild this engine to working order. Parts, specs, etc. I know I will need new bearings (con-rod and main), lots of new gaskets, and if the crankshaft is damaged I'll need to get that grinded and polished. My budget is around $1,000 to $1,500.

I'm having trouble finding specifics though, it seems like no one else has posted about how to do this. I know it's a 28-year-old car, but it seems like there should be more info. Do European websites have more info?

I tried uploading pictures but it didn't work.
