Re: Mercedes Diesel in CJ
The SB/BB Chev-and the Corvair-have a fully internal oil pump driven
by the distributor gear. This has good (reverse rotation on Chevs is
easier than most: Mercruiser and EAA types do it as do some circle
trackers) and bad (drop pan, ergo pull engine in many installations,to
fix oil pump) parts. The oil pump on the OM Benzes-off the top of my
head I don't recall where it's at, but I don't think it's below the
pan line. I'll get a manual and look.
AFAIK the Mitses have a gerotor pump on the front accessory section.
It's not an issue, they make a cornucopia of pans. The Benz 5 was a
car only engine-no industrial use-so there's one factory pan, although
it is a beautiful casting.

Re: Mercedes Diesel in CJ
Why did you even bring up a Corvair? It doesn't have an oil pan,
and of course all pumps drive off the distributor shaft. Geez, to be
this ignorant of engines you couldn't even live within the continent of
the United States of America, do you.

Re: Mercedes Diesel in CJ
I get the impression Bill doesn't like diesels. <;^). But the
personal attacks on someone giving actual information aren't needed.
Lots of times you post things I do appreciate, Bill, but this isn't
one of them.
Thanks for posting data on what it would take to make such a
conversion Ted. Even if I never actually decide to do something like
that I appreciate being able to understand what it would take.
Someday I'll have to convert my 2004 TJ to something to keep driving
it and I suspect it won't be a gasoline engine when I do. Something
to look forward to in 20 years at 300,000 miles.
