thanks, Mitch. Someone who HAD a 220D gave me his old valve adjustement wrenches - 14mm. Will these work on a '76 240D and if so, what else do I need...feeler guages...are those car specific or do they come in a generic set at an auto parts store?. I obviously need some numbers that I need to adjust to...want to do it hot as I know that is the better way to go. Any quidance greatly appreciated. Is the procedure online anywhere? Thanks! Chris

If they are too tight, they will definitely make the car run crappy and waste fuel. _______________________________________ For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net Christopher McCann, Squier Park, Kansas City, Missouri -1987 300TD, 150K miles, "Rotkäppchen" (Little Red Riding Hood) -1985 300SD, 209K miles, "Wulf" (http://www.pictureblogger.com/My-1985-Mercedes-Benz-300SD) -1976 240D, ManyK miles, "AKP-Wagen" (Alternativen Kraftstoffs Prüfenlastwagen = Alternative Fuel Test Vehicle) running WVO/WMO/LO/CO/WATF/WGL/WBF/DA/MS/lard/gas/kero/D2 mix (do not attempt this at home!) -1972 Jacobsen 21" Turbo Vent -1971 Case 222 Hydrive, 12HP Kohler, 38" deck, Snowcaster, "One Banger" --------------------------------- Yahoo!
