Re: [MBZ] Omega service across the universe (real oil)
The proper oils to use in a mechanical car clock are probably the Elgin M-58 (not make after about 1958) or the modern equivalents. Nye makes one -- a bit pricey at $35 a 1/4 oz, but you don't need much (use a dip oiler on the pivots). These are synthetics that don't change viscosity too much as the temperature changes. Still may run slow at sub zero temps, but if you use the proper oil for those conditions, it will evaporate on a hot sunny day when the car gets massive hot. For the quartz ones, I'd recommend quartz watch oil in the higher viscosities. Again, fairly pricey for what you get, but they last forever.

Re: [MBZ] CL: $700 Euro 500SEL with 4-wheel hydropneumatic susp
Be careful with unregistered cars in CA. I found out the hard way when I bought my 1962 300SE - it had been off the road for several years, and it was going to cost me a small fortune to get the title and registration released from the CA BMV. The insisted that I pay the costs of the registrations for the outstanding years before they would issue a clear title. This may be the case in other states as well, but I know it is in CA. I ended up getting a new title issues through one of those lost my title services, in Alabama, I think. Worked quite well and was a lot cheaper than paying off the CA BMV.

Re: [MBZ] 140 update
I think I am about ready to call it done, I got all the misc crap such as covers and what not in the engine compartment. I think I got that oil leak from the turbo return fixed. I used a prybar and bent the tube a little bit so it seems straighter now. I did run it up to operating temp yesterday and did start and run it this morning to see if it was still leaking oil. A couple of things I have observed. When stone cold it fires up and idles smooth. After a minute with the afterglow turns off it does seem to idle a little rougher and maybe miss on occasion and smoke more. After a few minutes of this and the engine is warmed it idles smooth again. Im hoping this is a condition that goes away after the engine is run a bit and cleaned up. I used some JB weld to plug up that broke off nipple on the main vacuum line, once it sets up Im going to pull the car out of the garage and take it up and down the street and see if she flys apart or not. I am quite sure once I put the wife back in it something will blow up. On 1/8/2011 6:02 PM, Kaleb C.

I've never had a problem getting this sort of information from a Ford dealer in the past, especially when I have the TSB and part number (which makes their job a lot easier.) I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to access the TSBs online for free, so I could look it over and verify the information I have. I'm going to stop in a local dealer tomorrow - it's in a small town, so I am sure I'll get plenty of help.

Re: [MBZ] Buick straight eight
I've never seen a post 1950 automobile without a heater -- I think they were required after that time. Even my great aunt's 48 chrysler had heat, and heaters really aren't an option when the installation rate is 100%. Dealers might have listed them as optional, but they were integrated into the dash the time new cars came out after WWII, and I suspect not getting one would require it deliberately be left out.

Re: [MBZ] Nokian
Cordless impact wrench? Sounds like a really nice tool.

But now that I've gotten new tires, I hope chains won't be necessary. (BTW, I got four Nokian WRG2 205/55-16s yesterday. The road noise is a little more pronounced than the Yokohama YK-520s from 35-45 mph, but is not noticable at 55+ and not really objectionable at lower speeds. I'm hoping they have at least as good snow traction as the Nokian WRs we have had on the '82 240/3.0)... The WRG2s (225/45-17) I bought for my C300 in 2007 have done very well in what little snow we get here. I mount them only when snow is forecast and leave them on for awhile. I was planning on taking them off in a few days but now the weather liar is talking about significant snow next week. Maybe. On my car, they are very quiet with just a slight hum at low speed. I don't like to swap the wheels back and forth much since the summertime 18 rears weigh in at 50# each. I finally caved in and ordered an item to make the job easier which is a Milwaukee 28V 1/2 cordless impact wrench. Breaking loose and spinning the MB's bolts off (aluminum nuts on the Porsche) is going to be sooo easy now. And spinning them on, just short of tight, of course, to finish with the torque wrench.

Re: [MBZ] 140 update
Yep, an OPTEST (operational test) will check your work and perhaps restore your confidence. Assuming good tires/brakes/suspension, gently warm the car up and keep your eyes and ears open for anything amiss. Keep increasing the pace, but check often to make sure she's holding together. Once you reach the point of almost outright abuse, if she's still holding together, than you turn the keys over to SWMBO for the Real Test: daily driving. -Max -Original Message- From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] 140 update
If you had the head off and cleaned it up (and the pistons tops) it will clatter something horrible and run badly until you get some soot built up on the head and piston crowns, and all the air out of the injection lines -- takes a few miles. Both of our 603s did this when the head was replaced. Sounds terrible, and I got lots of white smoke for a while on mine after startup, but once it has a few miles on it it will smooth out. Smoky rough starts are pretty much normal after servicing the injection system. I'm more concerned about an unbalanced engine, you REALLY don't want to toss a rod.

Nye makes one -- a bit pricey at $35 a 1/4 oz, but you don't need much (use a dip oiler on the pivots). These are synthetics that don't change viscosity too much as the temperature changes. Still may run slow at sub zero temps, but if you use the proper oil for those conditions, it will evaporate on a hot sunny day when the car gets massive hot. For the quartz ones, I'd recommend quartz watch oil in the higher viscosities. Again, fairly pricey for what you get, but they last forever.

Re: [MBZ] Omega service across the universe (real oil)
Way too thick. Remember, there is essentially no power usage there, a watt or less, and the idea is to have zero friction. Electric (quartz) movements are driven from the seconds hand, they don't have a strong spring pushing a step-up gear train like a mechanical watch or clock. Most of them today have plastic parts, and if you use the correct plastic friendly very light oils, run forever or until the coil goes open or the rotor that turns the electrical pulse into mechanical movement gets magentized and quits moving. No real gear pressure. The only use for something as thick as AFT would be the winding parts of a watch or clock, and they usually get grease. I've not had mine apart yet, but the old mechanical clocks in the older Benz models were electric only in the auto-winding mechanism, where an electro-magent flipped up the weight to 'wind' the clock. That's the occasional tick you hear in the dash sitting in the car. Othereise they are a plain mechanical clock, although I don't know just exactly what the escapement (time regulation) is.

Re: [MBZ] 140 update
Well I just got done taking the 140 out for about a mile long cruise. Smoke all cleared out as far as I could tell in the almost dark. Engine ran great, had plenty of power etc, tranny shifted fine which it did before. The only major thing now is it seems to have developed quite a vibration. Im thinking maybe its from the tires since its been sitting?? The tires are just about brand new before I started working on the car. It was smooth down the road before. I dont see that there would be a driveshaft problem, it went back together the same as I took it apart. I will have to investigate that further. If it is from the tires sitting, will that go away after a while on its own? On 1/9/2011 12:14 PM, Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] 140 update
I cleaned the piston tops and underside of head best I could to get the major gunk off but its by no means as new clean. Only replacing #1 was a concern of mine as well since the manual gives a spec of the weight the rods can differ, and the new rod is way heavier than the others. Just from it running I can tell any difference. And also there was the other dude on there who did the same thing and has put 50k or more on his since with no problems. I figured it was worth a shot. Will see how it goes.

Both of our 603s did this when the head was replaced. Sounds terrible, and I got lots of white smoke for a while on mine after startup, but once it has a few miles on it it will smooth out. Smoky rough starts are pretty much normal after servicing the injection system. I'm more concerned about an unbalanced engine, you REALLY don't want to toss a rod.
