OK, so how would one know when one needs to use a reamer?

I don't remember what the dowel size was, and I only needed to use it
once, on one glow plug. It was what I found lying around the fit. Most
of the time you don't need it.

I've only owned my MB for 2 years now, but I've done at least 5 valve adjust,
and it's a fairly straight forward job. For the order, do the valves first and
then diesel purge and change your filters. The main spinon filter has a
suggested interval of 15kmi, so it can be changed the same time you do each
valve adjust.
Tools: Go to Harbor Freight or your FLPS and buy a cheap set of 13mm (???not
sure on the size...might be 14 or 15mm...) open end wrenches. Heat them with a
tourch and bend them at a 45o angle. I'm sure someone else on the list can
provide a picture today. Glow plug reamer? Ask OK Don what size dowel rod he
used, get's the job done just as well.
