3 hours though? Seems high to me, I did all 8 on a 450 in ~1 hour and I'm -not- fast. Did not buy that 450, either.
Anyway in your situation I'd probably pay the $60 if it's not nearby; might save you a trip on a bum engine, or else you find out it is good and have a guaranteed "hold-it-until-you-get-there" [I assume the seller will be willing to do that if he takes your $60]. Either way, seems like it would be worth the money. But then it's not my money. :) Best, -Tim On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 8:07 PM, Curt Raymond <curtlud...@yahoo.com> wrote: > The glow plugs need to come out... > $60 for 3 hours is cheap shop time. > > -Curt > > Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 15:52:19 -0400 > From: andrew strasfogel <astrasfo...@gmail.com> > To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > Subject: [MBZ] Time & $$s for a compression test > Message-ID: > <AANLkTi=w0vjtkgoueft14zy5q7np37crzwh-osouf...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Looking at a possible 1985 300TD engine, asked the owner to do a compression > test for me.
