Mercedes Diesel Hydraulic Valve Clearance Compensating Elements Bucket Tappets

[@bruceauman1487]

Excellent video! I am no mechanic but a mechanical engineer and you produced this video in a way I can understand and relate to. Almost time to get busy on the wife's vehicle I just hope that there's a video for the next step that you produced.

Děkuji moc, máte velice zajímavá a přínosná videa. Vše krásně vysvětleno, dokonce i česky hovořící člověk to pochopí :) Je hodně amerických videí, kdy melou 3/4 materiálu páté přes deváté a nakonec povolej první šroubek dvacet sekund před koncem první části. Jste věcný a šikovný. Přeji Vám mnoho úspěchů. Michal, Praha

Your videos are great, it has helped me to understand the mecanic on my mercedes 5 cilinder ysangyong, all my best and keep on with them,thanks

[@buckshot927tx]

Man i really enjoy your Mercedes diesel videos!!

[@nilz1k]

I have this engine on my boat and really looking forward to see your next video on how to take off camshaft and fix the tappets.

[@tking1539]

Did you fix it ? I am going to clean my engine with diesel in the oil

[@nilz1k]

@@tking1539 ended up removing the camshafts and replacing the "caps".

In the past I've used a product called RISLONE for lifter noise on various engines. It works really well, under $5 walmart. I'm trying it out on my OM603.691 with promising results at the moment. Much quieter but not gone; 100 miles in. Loud 'TING!' to barely noticeable 'ping'. I also read on the forums people having very good results switching to Mobil 1 full synth. Something I never would have used myself in a older diesel. Diesel formulated oils have more detergents and do a better job suspending the soot captured. But I'm willing to give it a shot if others are saying it works wonders.

[@meadedillon1715]

Excellent! I love that you show both failed "lifters" and good lifters. Will you try to take apart the failed lifters and clean them?

[@dieselmercedes7507]

***** It is in my plan….

[@ventsislav92makaveev]

Really looking forward to the next video !

[@V8freaks]

You forgot one important information: When multiple hydraulic lifters are failing, it is sometimes a sign for a defective head gasket. In older castings of the cylinder head the oil gallery for the camshaft and tappets is sealed along the width of the cylinder head fully by the head gasket. Sometimes pressurised oil pushes through the gasket into the timing chain room. That is a serious problem on OM603s with a gasket, which is not reinforced at the oil gallery.

[@V8freaks]

There are new reinforced versions of the head gasket

[@britton6062]

I have a 1998 E300 turbodiesel, and I hear a noise similar to the tapping on this engine. Does my engine have those hydraulic valve tappets as well ?

[@MrGruxel]

great video, really helps a lot!

[@dieselmercedes7507]

thanks….

[@rafihussain]

Thanks very much for all your help

[@newsnowcold]

Can you make a video on how to replace the oil breather? Thanks

[@phunhonla2484]

clearly helpful details

[@TheDaewooooo]

When you gonna (make video) take off camshaft to fix hydraulic tappets?

[@dieselmercedes7507]

Markus Dianis it is scheduled for next week….Be PATIENT !!!

[@TheDaewooooo]

Be careful when take of camshaft there is order which screws g off first in abnother way of taking of screws camshaft can broke as piece of glass! P.S. Yes I can't wait your new video :)

[@christopherkelley3842]

diesel mercedes I can't wait! I will be replacing these this summer and will appreciate a look at how to properly remove and install the camshaft! Thank you for these videos, they are incredibly helpful for me and other 603 owners!

[@dieselmercedes7507]

Christopher Kelley I have sold this Benz to Mike…no more videos on this Diesel !

[@NicoGbasil]

@@christopherkelley3842 Do you know of any other materials out there to help other owners of the OM603? There are hardly any videos available.

[@robinpengelly8202]

Did you ever do the work on the tappets?

[@emiliscicenas6158]

I have 1987 300SDL with 95000 miles and I just took it to the service to replace radiator that was leaking. Right after picking up the vehicle, I noticed that ticking sound in the engine. Could it be just a coincidence that sound appeared after radiator replacement, or it happened due to couple pressure tests done to find where the coolant was leaking and now it causing that ticking sound to appear? Thanks!

[@mikemike-ym9pb]

Emilis Cicenas how long did the repair take before the engine was run again? That maybe the reason for the tick- hydraulic elements drained the oil back during the engine down time.

[@4tcfilm]

Great video again, can you make about valve adjustment on W123 300D

[@amgjens]

What happens when you keep driving with this problem?

[@srdang6136]

How wide in millimeters is/are the oil passages between this lifters? In which direction do they point?

[@samihabdelhafiz5371]

Very nice video

[@gregsparks3627]

I noticed you still have the cap on the egr delete kit, how's that working out?

[@armandh9287]

Hello. I have a W124 250D from 1990 and I follow your great channel. Thank you for sharing all these useful info with us. I had a leak on the 5 delivery valves of the injection pump. So, I bought the dedicated tool and I replaced the copper and O rings. It solved the leak but now I have a strong clicking noise. I checked the oil level and I also removed the cover of the hydraulic valves tappets to check if the tappets have to be changed or not. Conclusion: the tappets are ok. This is a good news but on the other side I still don't find the cause of my clicking noise. Do you have and idea about what could be the reason of this clicking noise? Thank you! Armand

[@xvidasx]

I have same noise on my 602.911 after this test I found 4 bad tappets. The video how to replace them will be very useful

[@NicoGbasil]

@@xvidasx have you done the job yet or have any material or videos on replacement? I have the same engine as you.

thanks

[@rreeuuvveenntube]

thanks, looks like your hard fuel line are NOT secured and tide down, like in my SDL,

[@dieselmercedes7507]

Reuven Reches yes, all hardware was missing when i bought it….i made another video to show the damage…it is on this channel.

[@bunnythekid]

Is it the same procedure on the om606?

[@Jupitercollection]

Om606 is different

[@geedi1437]

welcome to Somalia

[@peterkurek8071]

This happens when the head gasket is old and blows over channel what delivers oil pressure to the hydraulic lifters. I believe you need a new head gasket.

[@slavaf646]

Where are your location?
