Hello, I am looking for some critical dimensions on the OM606 series of engines.

Specifically I am looking for:

1. Overall length, front of the fan to the transmission mounting surface.

2. Distance from the top of the engine to the center of the crankshaft.

3. Distance from the bottom of the oil pan to the center of the crankshaft.

4. From the front perspective, the distance from the left (drivers side) to the center of the crank shaft.

5. From the front perspective, the distance from the right (passenger side) to the center of the crank shaft.

6. Distance from the bottom of the oil pan to the oil pan mounting surface (major and minor dimensions).

7. Overall height, oil pan to highest point on the engine.

8. Overall width.

9. Width of the block at the mid-ship line of the engine (engine mounts).



I do not have a block in my possession nor is there one in my area unfortunately. If I can get this information I will be extremely grateful as will anyone else looking for this type of thing.

If you have one in the open and are willing to take a few good quality pictures of all 6 sides, with something of a known size in them, like a ruler or even a beer can. I will be able to scale them and and make a ROUGH cad drawing that I will post back up here.


I am interested in this information because I intend to use an OM606 to power an off road buggy, but before I go out on a limb, I would just like to have an idea of how this type of drive train can/will be packaged within the vehicle.


Thanks,

Del
