Hello,
The pipe is stuck solid....tomorrow I'll continue to 'shake' it

Hello All,

It was fight. I wiggled the pipes may be an hour. At previous repair somebody add Auspuff Ziment and make my life miserable. Anyway the pipes are 42mm and I bought 2 gaskets 41x56x21mm...this is the only available as far as next size is 45mm inner diameter. I made new bushing in order to fit new gaskets, weld one hole (obviously from bad ground of welder of previous repair) add 150mm flex joint and new joint between mid-pipe and downpipe. Tomorrow I'll try to finish the job...too tired now.

yep...I really hate exhaust repair

This will not work...

....me thinking and laying on the grass 30 min away from my home, waiting ignition module (local Bulgarian made) to cool down.


so I push myself and finished project of Golf 2 distributor (heavy reworked).

Hello All,

Strange noise come from the timing chain. I opened the cover, check for ...something and it seems that plastic of the timing guide is stripped. Hm...any suggestion where to buy it?


Thanx a lot!

Tschüss

Hi Andrey,

for some of the old MB engines you will find complete kits including new timing chain and all parts, but I don't now if also for the M180. But as this motor is not only used on the unimog 404 the chance is good if you look on normal cars spare parts.
If you lost the slider now don't let the motor run as now the timing chain can skip by some chain links. In that case you ruin the motor

Thanx Jurgen,

The work slow down this weekend (I was in Greece for weekend). Tonight I was able to remove little 4 screw bolts bracket over valve cover. But the question stays:

I which direction should I try to remove the cover....thru front of engine or inside to the cabin?

Thanx for help!

Hi Andrey, the valve cover needs to remove to the front of the engine.

Thanx Jurgen,

I remove the cover, but it\s really hard to find camshaft timing mark....it seems to at back of the timing gear?? How to see all that?

Thanx

Dear Andrey,

no, normally is on the camshaft behind the sproket at frontside a timinig mark for 1. zylinder.

Thanks Jurgen,

Clear, but why crankshaft is on 35 deg mark? Is this TDC of 1 -st cylinder?

Thanks

Hi Andrey,

No, crankshaft must be on 0 deg for 1st cylinder. My picture is not showing the correct value. It only shows you how to find the marking
