It's Alive! First start of my Toyota 4Runner with Mercedes OM617 Turbo Diesel Engine

This is a video of the first engine start of my Toyota 4Runner equipped with a Mercedes OM617 (5cyl) turbo diesel engine.
There is still some work to do until the car is drivable but if Mr.Wrench Wizard (the guy in red shirt) keeps his promises hopefully it will be ready to drive within the next two weeks.

Why put a Mercedes diesel in a Toyota 4X4?
The number one reason is to improve the gas mileage from 12-14 mpg with the original Toyota 4cyl. gasoline engine to 24-28 mpg (with the Mercedes 5cyl. turbo diesel). The second reason is the extended range: from 275 miles to 400 miles before visiting a gas station. The third reason is reliability: the Mercedes OM617 is considered to be the simplest, most reliable diesel engine ever built. With proper maintenance these engines will usually run 500,000 miles between overhauls - and this is not something uncommon.

When ready, this truck will be the perfect hunting (or zombie apocalypse) rig ;)
