Hello Bruno, Thanks for the update. Is good to know, (as i´m going deeper and deeper on the search of GV4 gearbox swap) that if i don´t find the solution at least there is a light in the end of the tunnel called Walter. :unwuerdig: After a lot of search i´m still not sure if if this conversion is po...

Olá, The cylinder head is ok. The O-rings were replaced and the head was tested again. All good. Stefan, i bought the O-rings on Mercedes Porto and they were grey also. 45292336_575332142889543_5957102610006671360_n.jpg The cylinder head gasket set from Elring has the green O-rings.

Hello, As i´m going deeper on this subject i still don´t know if will be possible to install the GV4 65/6-9.0 on my OM352A. The flywheel housing/flywheel/disk/coupling plate/GV4 will fit my engine. My worries are: On the 1017AF the Crossbeam is under the gearbox. 45337154_952620724930264_39645955940...

Hello Bruno, Did you finish your gearbox conversion project? I would also like to swap gearboxes and i found a OM 366LA from first generation with a GV4 65/6-9.0 with PTO, flywheel housing A3522512601, coupling plate GMF350x here in my city. 44617833_715894692107795_4457614301590454272_n.jpg The eng...

Olá, Have all engines OM352 the 2 holes on the top of the engine block? Or only the last generation (353xxx)? My engine is from the last generation, is a 353 972 xxxx and the engine block part number is A3660110801 44775280_902774223443606_6621727453075210240_n.jpg I think but i´m not sure, that the...

Hello, Yes, but my engine has the 2 holes on the top . This 2 holes on the top are the same as on the OM366. My engine block is 366 and the holes look the same. 43878751_575689119534464_4722568957179985920_n.jpg But even with the 2 holes would be better to build a support? I can get this gearbox wit...

Hello, i am the owner of a MB1017AF from 1987 and also i would like to install a gearbox with overdrive and different relation between gears. I google translate all the topics i find in the forum related to this subject, but because i cannot do the search in Deutsche, maybe there is information that...

Hello, Finally today i got the tool to unscrew the sleeves. They came out very easy but there was no O-rings inside. I bought a head gasket set from Victor Reinz and there are 6 O-rings but they look very big. Anyone knows if this O-rings belong to the sleeves? O-rings from head gasket set Greetings...

Hello, I found a photo of the protection sleeve, so now i can see how and where is screwed to the head. Thanks to Unihell that provided the OEM numbers. Tomorrow i will try to unscrew them. Mercedes here in Portugal wants 75€ plus the TAX 23% for each protection sleeve. A3520170053 Found on the net ...

Hello, thanks unihell for the fast answer. When i bought the truck, and since i have it, had anti-freeze liquid inside. Is possible that was done before i bought the truck. I have it since 2015, i drove from Cloppenburg to Porto and parked it on my place....since then i am building it! Once more tha...

Hello Today i found out that my cylinder head (zylinderkopf) leaks from the injectors bed. Compression is passing trough. Since i have the truck there is little pressure on the water tank when i open the lid. The truck was parked some years and this summer i went for a ride and found oil on the wate...

Thanks for the fotos rotor brummer..
Now i see that the welding is there to do something. I was going to remove the welding, thanks for your tips.
Is a problem less that i have to worry!

Thanks for the answers...
I tried with the Dremel but is difficult to arrive on the bolts and cut clean.
I will open the drums and check it after i change the head gasket that is gone!

Hello i tried to find some documentation about this question but i can´t find. I still question myself why they did it. Is it a offroad trick? This is a Google translation...i hope everyone can understand. "Helllo vor kurzem fand ich, dass alle (8) Bremsen Einstellmuttern geschweißt sind. (Bild...

Helllo recently i found that all (8) brakes adjustment nuts are welded. (pics) Anyone knows the reason why they are welded? Is a Police standard procedure? This way i can´t adjust the brakes. And they are in a place very difficult to reach with machines to clear the weld. Anyone has tips regarding t...

Hello, i am happy to present you my lovely MB 1017AF cabin swap! I bought the truck in Germany at Alfers & Sohn and there i swapped the long cabin to a sleeper one. I registered the truck with 5 places and drove to Porto (Portugal) where i cleaned the rust (cut and welded new metal) and painted....
