OM616 Engine Technical Data
The OM616 engine family is a diesel automobile motor produced under contract for Mercedes-Benz by Force Motors for various Mercedes and Force vehicles.
This engine was used in various cars, vans and Unimogs over its production lifetime, and still finds use in Force Motors SUVs. In August 1978 the pre-combustion chamber was updated for more efficient combustion and the engine capacity was lowered to 2.4 L (2,399 cc) with increased power 54 kW (72 hp) to satisfy European displacement laws. A similar power update around this time was also done on the OM615 and OM617 engines.
The India Bajaj Tempo Co., now Force Motors, signed a deal with Daimler Benz to manufacture the OM616 Mercedes engine for fitting in its line of vehicles. This Mercedes engine gave the company a technological edge over other Indian manufacturers leading to the success of several Bajaj Tempo models.
Version Specifications
Later, more powerful versions of the OM616 are interchangeable with early ones. This is done with many older transporter vans and campers like the 207D and 307D models. It is not possible to change only the cylinder head for one with the higher rating, since the higher valve lift of the later versions will interfere with the early pistons.
