Does anyone have the valve clearances for both intake and exhaust, and torque measurements for the engine of a 1959 Mercedes 180D? I have tried www.mbzponton.org but to no avail.
Thanks

I think Kent Bergsma is a ponton guy. Try the forum at the unspeakable website.

I just wanted to say.... I enjoyed reading this thread.

If I ever find one of those things, I would turn it into a daily driver....

Awesome!

Walking isn't a lost art: one must, by some means, get to the garage.

People use that?

I hope this helps you. this is out of an old shop manual dated 1959. covers models OM636 and OM 621, 170DS & SD thru 190DC.

I also have a Chilton`s printed in 1974 covering models to year 1970.
190C thru 300SEL/6.3
That would be the last picture.

I just reread this, you want exactly what torque settings? I originally posted this in the middle of the night and it didn`t register then. I was just thinking valve adjtments.

I took those pic in the kitchen and the lighting wasn`t too good and a flash really screwed it up.
