Re: [MBZ] 1992 Olds 98
Yes, those 440s tend to pull like a freight train too, right from idle.
Wasn't going to mention it, but with all the posts regarding old American
steel, I'm going to throw out there that I have pretty much decided to sell
my '68 Coronet 500 two door coupe.
She was my first car - had 'er since I was 16 (c. 20 years). Arizona car.
The 500 was a luxury option, but I turned it into a street machine. Have the
original trim.
Replace the original 383 with a 440 which I had completely rebuilt (forged
pistons, roller rockers, stellite valve seats, etc. etc. Rebuilt tranny and
suspension, etc. Front disc.
Won't go into too much detail, I know it's way Off Topic. Would be seeking
around $10k - otherwise may just keep 'er in the family.

With all of this 92 Olds 98 bashing it probably would not be wise to
share
with the froup the fact that I used to own a true land barge, the

The 92 Olds 98 is small in comparison.

Bt!!! Wrong. The 190D, especially the turbo, is a hot little car. Unfortunately, the one advertise on the Nashville Craig's list is not a turbo, in spite of the ad. Actually the non-turbo model is not that bad, acceleration wise. No comparison with a 240D. If I drove either of the 190Ds the way I have to drive the 240 (pedal to the metal), I'd be in jail.

I have to add to that a bit..ALL of those chemicals are not used at once in Hitler's brew. Many of them can be substituted for others.

Be prepared to spend a fortune on gas. They will pass anything but a gas station and , from personal experience/abuse, I know they will take way more of a beating than you are likely to give it.

Alex, After reading the ad I would not bid without an in person inspection. Why do they say the oil pressure sending unit needs replaced? Is this a typical AMC 360 with a bad oil pump? Does it have oil pressure? The skip they mention is probably carb related. No fun to rebuild or work on at all with all the BS in the way. The clunk is probably the T-case chain and will probably be good for a long time but, being a Benz owner, I can see you wanting to fix every little thing to make it right and spending a fortune on a vehicle that may never be right.

There was the 201.122 190D 2.2 brought to the US in '84-'85. 72 HP, 0-62 mph ~19 sec (that's 5+ sec faster than a 240D) highway mpg ~36-37 (more economical than a 240D too). VERY nice car - even nicer with a 5 speed that makes EVERYTHING about it nicer. There was the 201.126 190D 2.5 brought to the US from '86-'89. 90 hp, 0-62 mph ~ 15 sec (faster than an '81-'85 300SD). Highway economy ~33-34 mpg. A 5 speed was available that also made everything else better, but VERY few of them were imported (my guess is no more than a few hundred). Finally there was the 201.128 190D 2.5 turbo 123 hp (119 in Calif). Only imported to the US in '87 and fewer than 1400 were brought over. 0-62 ~11 sec. Only available as an automatic. Really a nice car - matched PERFECTLY with the automatic transmission. I love 5 speeds (owned 3 of 'em), but the 190D 2.5t really is PERFECT with an automatic. There was a European 201.122 190D 2.0 (never officially brought to the US) that was manufactured from '83 thru the early '90s. ~70 SAE hp and a little less torque than the 2.2 version sold in the US. Nice VERY economical car. I've done well over 40 mph on the highway with the 5 speed I own (got 48 mpg once, but 42-43 much more usual and can drop below 40 with the AC cranking full blast or in the winter with winter fuel). Acceleration is a little slow - 18-19 sec to 62 mph - still MUCH faster and more economical than a 240D and much less work to maintain (no valves to adjust). Timing chain life of OM60x engines is routinely almost double what it is on OM61x engines using regular oil and about double that again using Mobil 1. With just a little care, the timing chain should last the life of the engine TWICE!

Re: [MBZ] OT: For the Jeep freaks, interesting Grand Wagoneer
I have a '85 Grand Wagoneer that I've owned for a couple of years. The problem areas are: The oil pumps are a known wear out item and are housed in the aluminum timing cover. Wear results in low oil pressure and the fix usually requires both to be replaced. Mine went from 15 psi to 60 psi at highway speeds after replacement. Cost of parts is around $450. Probably a one day job if no bolts break off. The carbs are Motorcraft and work ok at highway and offroad. The need to be rebuilt every couple of years and usually require adjustment in the spring and fall to run correctly. Good fix is a Holly Avenger carb at about $400 plus a new intake at $200. A better fix is fuel injection at $2,000. The engines tend to overheat due to a marginal cooling system. Best fix is a Flowkooler water pump at around $200 and a four core aluminum radiator at $400. Expect the bolts to be frozen in the block and require much time and assorted breakage to get them out. The clunk is likely a u-joint. These things have several of them in the drivetrain and require frequent greasing. Some in the front are almost impossible to get to and tend to get skipped. The sending unit in the fuel tank tends to go out and leave the gauge reading at full so you don't know how much gas you have. This is not a real problem as you need to stop at every third gas station anyway. I get about 8 mpg with mine which has the 360 V-8, the six bangers get a little better mileage. The rear springs tend to sag on the drivers side where the gas tank is. Stock complete replacement springs are around $400 and ones with a four inch lift around $600, plus shipping and those things are heavy. You will need a torch, Sawsall, BIG hammer and lots of time to get the bolts holding the springs out. They will have rusted in the metal lining of the bushing. The one holding the front of the rear spring on the drivers side goes through a hole in the frame to a nut clipped on the backside. This will break and require removal of the skid plate and gas tank to replace. This probably needs to be done anyway as the skid plate tends to trap mud and rust out so it will need replaced. If there is any rust on the frame you don't want it. The good points are the things will go anywhere offroad while hauling serveral adults and lots of gear. Alan Duff Knoxville, TN

[MBZ] Valve adjustment - 617.95. engine - crazy idea?
Since the valve adjustment job is fairly easy but a PITA, why not adust the valves a bit looser than specs, i.e. .005/.015 instead of .003/.013. This would throw the timing off a hair, open a little later and close a bit sooner. But will it be significant enough to notice? The benefit being longer intervalls between needed adjustments since they always tend to tighten up. -- Hans Neureiter, Houston, TX '82 300SD, '95 E300D

[MBZ] G Class to continue
Mercedes To Continue Producing G-Class Posted on November 11, 2005 at 8:52 AM CST Despite earlier rumors that Mercedes may be replacing the legendary G-Wagon with the upcoming GL-Class, DaimlerChrysler has officially announced today that they will continue producing the G-Class in coming years. The legendary G-Wagon has remained virtually unchanged in it's design since 1979, except for various safety and technology upgrades. According to Dieter Zetsche, head of the Mercedes Car Group, Mercedes-Benz wrote automotive history by always ensuring that the G-Class remained state of-the-art over the past 26 years, and it will continue to offer its customers the very latest technology in the future.² Production for the G-Class will remain at the Magna Steyr Plant in Graz, Austria, where over 185,000 have been produced throughout the years. Although the G will remain with Magna Steyr, DaimlerChrysler has also announced today they will be moving E-Class production (which has been with Magna Steyr since 1996) to the DaimlerChrysler plant in Sindelfingen from early 2007. For more info on the G-Class and E-Class production, you can check out the full press release below. OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE Mercedes-Benz G-Class: Legendary Off-Roader Will Remain Part Of The Mercedes Product Lineup Stuttgart/Graz, Nov 11, 2005 DaimlerChrysler will continue to produce its ³classic off-roader² in the coming years. On behalf of Mercedes-Benz, the company Magna Steyr has manufactured over 185,000 units of the legendary G-Class in Graz, Austria, since 1979. The car continues to be very popular among customers, and it has been part of the Mercedes product lineup for the past 26 years. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 4MATIC, which Magna Steyr in Graz has also been building since 1996, will be manufactured instead at the DaimlerChrysler plant in Sindelfingen from early 2007. ³By continuing to produce the G-Class in Graz and manufacturing all E-Class variants at our main plant in Sindelfingen from 2007, we have found a viable solution for both partner,² explains Dr. Dieter Zetsche, DaimlerChrysler Board of Management member and head of the Mercedes Car Group. ³We are delighted that we can continue our successful and long-standing cooperation with Magna Steyr.² With its rugged technology and outstanding off-road capabilities, the G-Class has set standards from the very start. And it is equipped with the industry¹s most effective drive and driving safety systems, combining permanent all-wheel drive with the 4ETS electronic traction system and three differential locks that are activated when needed. The vehicle¹s striking shape, which has remained nearly unchanged over a period of almost three decades, has made the ³G² a design classic with cult status. Together with its legendary ruggedness, the off-roader¹s design has contributed most to its popularity. ³Mercedes-Benz wrote automotive history by always ensuring that the G-Class remained state of-the-art over the past 26 years, and it will continue to offer its customers the very latest technology in the future,² says Zetsche.

The benefit being longer intervalls between needed adjustments since they always tend to tighten up. A well maintained engine lubricated with good oil that's changed as required, will not need adjustment very often, but they still need to be checked before each cold season to insure flawless cold starting. The process is far from linear and often changes quite suddenly! Once you have become one with your car, you may be able to tell that the valves need adjustment from the sound, but I was never able to count on that even after 20+ years of trying. Increasing valve clearance will make them noisier, increase wear (at least a little) and the engine won't run as well. Tight valves quiets the engine, but results in slow/no cold starting, poor running when cold and excessive valve wear/damage. Valves can tighten (usually intakes) with wear (and that prevents cold starting) and they can also loosen (usually exhausts) and that makes the engine noisier, but neither of those results are exclusive - so they really must be checked every 15kmi or so and adjusted if they are out of specification. It's been reported (rather frequently) that the use of Mobil synthetics will reduce the need for valve adjustment (but I don't know why that might be). I KNOW it reduces timing chain wear (I've measured that) by about half and I understand why, but I can't figure out why it would reduce the need to adjust valves.

Re: [MBZ] Valve adjustment - 617.95. engine - crazy idea?
Three things, really, I would guess -- reduced wear on cam follower and adjuster nut (also reduced wear on the cam lobe, but that won't affect clearance), reduced wear on guides (and hence better seating and reduced wear on seat), and less ash in the combustion chamber since there is less consumption and less zinc stearate in the oil (I think, not sure on the last one). I've not run Mobil 1 in a 61x engine long enough to need to do a valve adjust yet (will be checking my brother's 300D this weekend or next), but on the Volvo, only a couple valves were out of spec after 50,000 miles.
