300D 617 European Engine - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I'm selling a European 300D (617) engine that I have, I swapped it out for a 617 turbo. Was installed in my car and is in good running order (~<200k miles).

Here I am starting it up after is was put away for +1 year in our container. I turns over slow, couldn't get a great connection on the starter terminals and smokes quite a bit a first (burning off the ATF that was used to fog the engine before storing it away).

It's a not the prettiest, a little oxidized on the outside, the way I received it when I pulled it from a donor 300D. Has almost all accessories.

Asking $1000 OBO (can't seem to find any other european engines for sale here), so please make an offer.

Euro...is that a non egr turbo exhaust manifold? If it is and you decide to part it i will take that.

If it ends up parted I need a crankshaft. Suppose it's best to also replace the flywheel and harmonic balancer.

Was anything different about euro 617's?

Its an N/A motor, with an EGR exhaust manifold that has the EGR port blocked with a custom machined plug.

No plans for parting it at the moment, it's a perfectly good running motor. The Euro 617's had the M-Pump (injection pump). Otherwise I'm not sure what exact differences there are other than it is peppier than the US 617 engine.

However I do have a crankshaft from a US 617 that is being parted along with many other parts.

That'll work just fine for me. The engine I need it for is a US NA 300D with only 80k miles. Harmonic balancer came loose and the semicircles where the pins go are rounded out into semiovals. :/ Somehow the semicircles on the balancer got pinched a bit and replacement pins don't fit into them, so the opposite problem. So it might be best to replace that too instead of trying to file the holes back, and I've heard the balancer needs to match the flywheel. There's also some dings to the main pulley from when it came loose and hit other things, so I could stand to replace that as well so it doesn't tear up new belts...but I could probably just file down the spurs...

Do you know how crazy it is to replace the crankshaft? I'm sure it's a huge hassle but I'm hoping I can manage it myself.

I'll double check, but I believe I have all the parts you need. I pulled my crank to replace the conrod bearings, but the engine was already out of the car on a stand. So it wasn't too much work in removing the crank. In car... I don't know, I haven't tried.

In essence you need to separate the tranny, loosen the timing chain by removing the cam gear, drop the oil pan, loosen and remove all conrod bearing caps, loosen and remove all main caps and finally pull the crank free. This would give you a good opportunity to replace the rear main seal (rope seal).

Not parting out this engine.

Lol I'll take the IP and linkage.

I've never heard of the hb being matched to the crank or fw.
