with all injectors out, pour oil or some concoction of penetrating oil into the cylinder with lowest compression. replace injector on the cylinder you are treating. use ratchet wrench on crank pulley to rotate engine clockwise until cylinder hydrolocks. then apply some pressure to it. If it eventually finishes its cycle, then you have a VERY bad engine. but if not, then keep rocking the crank back and forth with some force, to ensure oil is getting forced into the piston rings.

*To best get an idea of where the piston would be at, during pouring in fluids, take valve cover off. I'd have the pistons near TDC, and fill fluids until its coming out of injector hole, then let it sit for 30 mins. then finish rotating until piston is past TDC, reinstall injector.

I have had mixed results, but worth a try to get rings unstuck, and bring up compression numbers.


**After procedure, it is absolutely necessary to purge all cylinders before reinstalling all injectors. so with all injectors out, use starter motor to spin engine several revolutions. This can be very messy to use a beach towel or something to place over injector holes to catch excess oil.

Mercedes OM616 runs awesomely. but won't embark on swap until sunny weather hits.
