Re: Novak has pulled their heads out-a little
Incomplete thinking there. If food were cheaper, then the used french
fry oil would be more available and therefore cheaper. That way,
everyone would be able to afford a diesel to haul their fat **s around.

On the Mercedes engines the oil pump hangs below the block rail and
is chain driven, so there is little to be shaved off. About the only
alternative would be to dry sump the beast with external pressure and
scavenge pumps, a Bad Idea on road cars as if the belt fails you are
looking at catastrophic engine failure.
MBZ designs its engines for its chassis and vice versa. There were a
lot of the old pushrod OM's sold for industrial use, but they
generally had sumps more reminiscent of Continental flat fours-a bag
sump. Thermo King was the big MBZ customer until they switched to
Isuzu (a good move) in the early 80s.
"Other than that" and the use of vacuum vane governors up through the
late OM 616, the Mercedes small diesels are magnificent little power
plants. The lower ends can go a million miles. The bores go in about
300,000, but they are linered and usually a no machining swap out. If
they had an aftermarket chrome liner still available the bores would
go the life of the lower end probably.
Usually the chassis dies from rust or crash damage, or the car is
parted out because the transmission dies. The engines can be had for
very little money. But 4WD swaps are tough because of the sump
clearance issue.

The Webasto is pretty simple. So are South Winds and Eberspachers.
Most of these so caled "mechanics" are actually partschangers.
Webastos are readily available but they are expensive new, so are the
parts, but they are pretty reliable.
