Agreed, probably because they were taken over by marketeers and the engineers were pushed aside. Our 83 300D diesel has 393,000 miles on it and still has the original engine. Although the jack points are rusted and the rear axle has slop in it, it's always ready to go.
Found your post mentioning you 83 300 D from 14 days ago.
Has the cam shaft ever been replaced? Those OM 617 engines often would wear out the cam shaft and rocker arms.
Just interested to know.Apart from that it's a good engine.
No problems with the camshaft or the valves. I've haven't heard that.
The only thing I can think of is that the lifters are mechanical and they need to be adjusted every 15,000 miles. If not, then the engine begins to run rougher and rougher.
