Yeah , that first attempt has overheated steel written all over it - need a very small flame and move fairly quickly in a wide , even pattern - it should flow out very smoothly .

One step forward, 4 steps back...
This always happens in a custom build to make things right.
That bad ass OM617 is about 125hp and 180ft/lb. it's no powerhouse but it moves my 40 around ok. You may need to turbo that OM662 to make it acceptable.
What do you think of your BTB booster so far? Are your clips that hold the lid down tight?
When I got my booster, one was snug, the other was pretty loose. I tightened the loose one, and every time I drove, there was fluid leaking out from under the rubber gasket. So I have tightened both of them, but there's still brake fluid leaking after every drive. It's extremely frustrating, especially for the price I paid.
What are your thoughts?
The lid on mine is almost too tight. You can see scratches where I had to use a screwdriver to pry the retainers over the detents. I'm satisfied thus far, but I haven't driven the ole Mule on the street yet...
yup. thats the one!! also got some good injectors with increased pop pressure. they were built by a guy who has dieselmenken pump and uses them himself. he loved them. I was looking for monark injectors as the Bosch ones apparently suck and have poor uniformity. the guy I found who builds them also had a set of these other injectors he built for me instead. they are German 1930s. I really can find much on them.
now I'm a wrambling on and poaching dvp7070s thread. just wanted to add some info about replacement parts to help improve this engines performance.
