OM617 Crankshaft Swap
I am currently working on a partial overhaul on my OM617 Turbo engine and I have a quick question. I pulled my crank shaft to replace the rear rope seal and noticed that a few of my connecting rod bearings have a significant amount of wear. The crankshaft itself doesn't look to bad so my initial thought was to just purchase new connecting rod bearings. The journal on the crankshaft measured 51.20mm, I believe this is the 3rd over repair stage. The problem I have run into is sourcing 3rd over connecting rod bearings, I've spent about an hour now looking online and have only found STD, 1st over, and 4th over.
I do have a 617 non turbo engine that I could potentially take the crankshaft from. I am just not sure if this crank shaft will bolt up to my OM617 turbo engine with out any issues. Does any one know if the non turbo crankshaft is the same as the turbo crankshaft on the OM617 engines?
