[MBZ] OT Induction cook top

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Just installed, mounted in white Formica counter.

Should I run a bead of caulk around the perimeter?

Nothing in the installation guide about doing that, I was thinking the glass 
needed to be floating so it could expand and contract and not break.  However, 
lots of food and liquid is going to get under the edge of the glass if not 
sealed.

I'll bet a mount is broken on that power steering pump.  Put a clutch pulley on 
the alternator, then fix broken mount with JB Weld.

Re: [MBZ] 617 head question

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

I looked up parts on importec, the head gasket set for the 76 is the 
same as one for a 81 for example. I would say it would work.

Turbo injectors are different, with a higher pop pressure, but a NA engine

I don't think it would hurt any if you used a turbo cam and sodium cooled 
exhaust valves.
Using a 1979 or newer head with the hardened cam and followers wouldn't hurt.

These guys have a good “where used” listing when you enter a part number:

https://www.german-spob.de/start.php?seite=start=de=a231f697a3e6f9d62983ce5ca9da39fc
 


Good place to find older NLA used parts, too.

Re: [MBZ] Front loading washer bearings

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

I bought a speed queen in 1980.  I don't think it lasted 10 years.  I 
was greatly disappointed as I had worked for toastmaster corp, who owned 
Speed Queen back then.  Toastmaster generallybuild solid products, 
although each decade they got more cheaply built.The Maytag 
"dependable" is near 20 yrs old.  It still has the original belt, and 
everything else on it.

cheap though.

Black Green Metallic. Which isn't really green. 
https://www.copart.com/lot/35420277
Some spots of surface rust that I Scotchbrited away and covered with POR-15.
Black interior, decent but dirty. 
I was thinking of selling it for $2500 after driving it for the winter, but 
that was before I bent the hood and before I decided today that I don't like 
driving it in the winter. 
Mitch.

Re: [MBZ] OT Venezuela situation

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

The tree of Liberty does need to be watered regularly.  

I propose that all people who aspire to leadership positions or political 
chicanery should be allowed to go as high as they can within ten years.  At the 
end of that period, they are taken out for the crowds to witness their 
execution.  This would make space for new ideas and deter career political 
dreams.  A grand Celebration for all.There should be no retirement fund for 
these folks, as they will not survive politics.  That saves the taxpayers, as 
there would also be no need for security details keeping track of “retired” 
leaders.

Well, when a set of winter tars cost near as much as the vee-hicle, and 
the rubber on it is in VG condition, (and it is an "appliance" vehicle) 
it makes sense to flip it and buy another, possibly one with good winter 
tars.  (Or something else with cheaper size tars)

Re: [MBZ] Front loading washer bearings

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

No help to Kaleb, but I did the rear bearing on our dryer last year, and
that was pretty easy even thought it is stacked on top of our washer.

We bought a front loading Kenmore washer in the last year of the previous
century, and 18 years later it is still going strong.  Kenmore is
re-branded ...?  I suspect this is Maytag, made just before the Neptune
model came out.

I heard a radio program called "rock and roll handyman"  complaining 
about his new washer crapping out.  You are not alone.


I knew Maytag, when it was still maytag, was having trouble with its 
"neptune"  (new design) washer transmissions.  When I heard they were 
going to quit building the "Dependable" washers they had made since the 
50s,  I went out and bought a set of "dependables"   The washer has been 
great, but the dryer belt broke in a year or two, then the motor on the 
dryer crapped out.  I ground off the welds on the motor and bodged in 2 
new bearings, and it ran longer than the original, but eventually failed 
again.  At that point, I broke down and bought a replacement motor, and 
it has been trouble free.

[MBZ] Michelin Latitude Tour HP

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Found this review at TireRack.com from a ML320 owner:
Noticed a serious lack of traction in any snow condition. Definitely a summer 
tire only. 



I agree with the above wholeheartedly. 
First time I had it out in the snow back in November, I tried to do a low speed 
stop and the ABS kicked in when I was barely touching the pedal. Rolled right 
through the stop sign. 

Second time, today, in a foot of snow, it went worse in the trail that my 
Saturn Ion had broken yesterday than the Ion did while making it. Stopped at 
the end of the driveway and couldn't move it an inch in either direction. Two 
guys pushed me out, their combined force felt about the same as the combined 
effort of four Michelins with 4000lb on them. 

This thing is not only scary in handling and braking compared to my Ion with 
Pirelli Winter Cinturatos on it, I'm at least as likely to get the ML stuck in 
deep snow, and the Ion has a lot less ground clearance and weight. I'll 
probably sell it in the spring to get rid of the tires, don't want to buy a set 
of 17" when the ML already has a set of high dollar tires with tons of tread 
life left. 

Mitch.

[MBZ] The PiTA SD

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

So I went and looked at this SD the kid  was trying to sell. He had maybe 3 
teeth but was a nice guy. It started right up and ran fine, sounded pretty 
smooth actually. The door was bent but still opened, he had another one to put 
on was a different color. Had replaced the seats except for front passenger 
with same color blue leather seats, they looked half decent. 2 new tires on the 
front. Front suspension work and some other steering bits he hadn’t yet 
replaced. He said he bought it from the original owner a coupla years ago who 
bought it new, aside from the dinged door and fading paint it seemed like it 
would be an ok driver. I didn’t look at it all too closely  Not that I need it 
but if anyone is interested in a cheap SD it would be a reasonable deal for a 
driver/beater.

And it would have been hilarious if it weren't so sick, how the

Tinyurl, or another URL substitution service would do it - but they
also obscure the URL.  If the person posting is diligent and
mentions the domain and explains the destination I don't mind.
However, most don't.

Some recent examples.  With full URLs it's not too bad since I can
tell by the domain and extension what I'm clicking on. But when
using tinyurl, where am I about to go?  Is it a craigslist post?
A youtube video?  A photo? A PDF?  Is it office or family safe?  I
like to look before I leap.

[MBZ] More rodbender

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

So just confirmed I do have a part number plate riveted to the bell housing on 
the passenger side. I would say I have a crate engine here.  Question is, when 
was it installed. 

It’s got an aftermarket radio which as I suspected when pulling up the trunk 
liner and wiring is all jacked up. Lord I hate that. The amp is missing also. I 
guess my only alternative is to either live with the radio they is in it, or 
put it back to original which is what I would prefer. I bet I would have to 
pull the complete harness out of another car unless I can splice this one back 
together. 

I removed that shower curtain rod they had wedged between the power steering 
pump. When removed the pump is causing a loud rattle. It does not really appear 
to be loose but when you pull it forward the rattle stops. See video. 

https://youtu.be/ngguAm61LsM

I have the title from the original owner which was signed over the a place 
called Peddle, inc out of Austin tx. I looked them up and it appears to be a 
dealer of some sort which talks about getting an instant cash offer. Maybe the 
po wanted some quick cash and they just sent the car to copart. I don’t see how 
anyone made any money on the deal though.

I have a very conservative friend who decries every dollar the government

offered a tax rebate for electric vehicles (bought over-grown golf cart
things for running around his 40 acres) and said "Thanks, tax-payers!".

Yes, totally.
However, the same greed is rampant among the plebes.  Which of us

Driver just called - he’s maxed out for rest hours so he’s stopping just south
