If you have uneven leakdown, you know SOMETHING is wrong. Never seen a rodbender. How much shorter do the rods get when they bend? Can you take off the valve springs with a cylinder at TDC and measure the length of the protruding valve stem? Maybe pull the prechambers and look at the cylinder walls with a borescope? If you've got crosshatching all the way around, you know you haven't egged the cylinder walls yet, but I guess you still wouldn't know if the rods were OK. Maybe stick the borescope through the drain plug and do a visual on the rods? Does a scope focus far enough away to look at the WHOLE rod and not just a close-up of the surface? _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com 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://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
