Optimax 150 1b778430. the bearing in the uper compressor end cap just seized. metal shavings outside the engine but do i have to have the fuel rails cleaned and injectors? inside of compressor is not disentegrated.
ALSO
we tested the oil pump by going in oil prime mode. the oil line going to the upper compressor end cap is feeding oil correctly to the bearing. Dont think the compressor suffered from oil starvation.
i know merc have redesigned the compressor in 2011. mine is a 2010 and with the old style compressor end cap. Now i have to buy the whole new redisigned compressor. But do these old style bearing are known for seizing as a desgin problem? Or something else is wrong with my engine and made the bearing break?
thanks
THIS COMPRESSOR COST AN ARM AND A LEG (1500$CAN) OUTCHHH
