Re: [MBZ] A Heart Transplant for Hildegard

I’ve decided to take the leap and have a 111K mile engine installed 
into Hildegard. My indy shop found it in Cali, and it should be 
arriving by the middle of next week. The old engine was leaking from 
the front and rear seals, and blowing it out the oil separator. Rather 
than throwing easily half the money at this old engine with new 
gaskets and seals, and half way to a complete R job, this engine 
will be refreshed with all new gaskets and seals before it goes in. 
They are going to rebuild the front suspension components that are bad 
and fix the AC system. It’s going to cost about $6K, but it should run 
literally forever or until Coronavirus kills everyone off. I know that 
Pierre Hedary would be proud and happy that another W123 240D will be 
saved!

1982 240D, High Mileage Hildegard soon to be under the wrenches and

I already gave him the car-part.com info.  Must be a hundred there.  But 
he has to call them. All cheaper than RIW.

Reading the fine print, I see that shipping is free west of the 
Rockies and east of the Rockies they add a fuel surcharge, but it’s 
less than $250.


Got any better options?

I think not. So quit your carping and being cheap and just call them 
and buy one. It will be easy for a competent body shop to prep and 
make it nice off the car.

Re: [MBZ] An interesting product

Yes, that is what I have. Different brand, almost identical torque specs..
Amazing that the price for the 1 inch tool is nearly same as the 1/2 inch
drive tool. Most everything I have 1 inch is way more money..

Re: [MBZ] OT: IP Cams, WAS W124 300D alternator replacement?

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

fish tapes work well in long runs of conduit... The fiberglass rods work 
way better when you need to push, as well as pull.   The fish  tape does 
not push, inless it is in something like conduit.



dan--- via Mercedes 
February 13, 2020 at 2:52 PM
I have a fish tape.

Ideally, I wanted to run the cable inside the aluminum soffit to the 
center of the garage (soffit) and then do a straight shot (right angle 
to front of garage) from that point across the garage to the utility 
room where my data frame is located.


Getting the soffit open was more of an ordeal than I expected. This is 
the standard perforated aluminum soffit that runs in a couple of 
channels on each side. To loosen up one side I have to pull nails out 
of the aluminum fascia so I can release that side of the soffit. Ugh.


Also, since there’s nothing above the soffit, I’ve got nothing to 
attach the camera to, unless there’s a stringer in the corner, which 
there probably is. If I could open the soffit I would just put a board 
across it to provide a place to secure the camera mount.


I’m still not sure how I’m going to go about this. Grr.

The fish rods I have are each 6ft long, and thread together to
make it longer as needed.  The snow markers could be really handy
for short pulls, but I also think they would be too stiff.  The
fish rods bend.  My 3/16 or so diameter ones work fine with a bend
radius of at least 1.5 ft [50 cm].  Maybe a little less.

Good.

But for a mostly straight push, nothing works as well as the fish
rods.  Maybe a fiberglass fishtape would work, but I think even it
would be too flexible.

Yeah, with accessories like the ball-chain and magnet, and
wisk-head to follow insulation facing I have done some cable pulls
that would otherwise be impossible.   Not so good for pushing
through conduit like a normal fish tape, but outside of conduit I
am much, much more likely to use the rods than anything else.

Re: [MBZ] An interesting product

Very handy tool, once you train yourself to use it properly.
I have the industrial version of it. Input and output is 1 inch drive, and
I use it to remove lugs on the bus and the semi tractors and trailers.
Torque on the bus lugs is 425 psi, which presents challenges. Three axle
bus, with inner and outer lug nuts on the dual drive wheels.. makes a "lot
of lug nuts".
I have 1 inch air impact wrenches, however, wheel changes actually go
faster by breaking loose the lugs first with the 1 inch torque multiplier.

[MBZ] A Heart Transplant for Hildegard

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

I’ve decided to take the leap and have a 111K mile engine installed into 
Hildegard. My indy shop found it in Cali, and it should be arriving by the 
middle of next week. The old engine was leaking from the front and rear seals, 
and blowing it out the oil separator. Rather than throwing easily half the 
money at this old engine with new gaskets and seals, and half way to a complete 
R job, this engine will be refreshed with all new gaskets and seals before it 
goes in. They are going to rebuild the front suspension components that are bad 
and fix the AC system. It’s going to cost about $6K, but it should run 
literally forever or until Coronavirus kills everyone off. I know that Pierre 
Hedary would be proud and happy that another W123 240D will be saved!
Kevin in Hillsboro, OR

Re: [MBZ] Desperately need a W123 driver's door or door shell

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Reading the fine print, I see that shipping is free west of the Rockies and 
east of the Rockies they add a fuel surcharge, but it’s less than $250.

Got any better options?

I think not. So quit your carping and being cheap and just call them and buy 
one. It will be easy for a competent body shop to prep and make it nice off the 
car.

Re: [MBZ] OT: IP Cams, WAS W124 300D alternator replacement?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’m going to poke around from the inside first so I know where all the rafters 
are relative to the soffit. I suspect there would be a rafter in the corner all 
the way down to the fascia. If so, it’s there behind the soffit, I just can’t 
see it. If I can tell that the rafter goes all the way down, I’ll poke a hole 
in the sofft t get my bearings and feed a cable through.

I’ve got this goofy double gable on the front of my garage, so there are all 
sorts of beams and rafters in that area that make it near impossible to get 
around in the attic space. If I can see down into the soffit fro that area, and 
I probably can from a vantage point in the attic with a high powered 
flashlight, I’ll know how to proceed…

Do you have, or can you readily get more of the soffit material in the 
same color?
If so, I would suggest that you maybe just pop rivet a second layer of 
soffit material under the existing layer. That will give you a double 
thickness that will make it stronger.
You should not need to open up the soffit. Just make a hole to feed your 
cable through and use the fish tape or get a set of the long rods like 
the alarm installers use to push your cable through to where you can get 
hold of it from the attic. The hole can be a fair size if you cover it 
with the second layer of soffit material.
This is what I did on our house when I was installing some of the 
satellite cable and needed a way to attach the cables and a ground to 
the soffit on the way to the dish.

[dan--- via Mercedes]

I have a fish tape.

Ideally, I wanted to run the cable inside the aluminum soffit to the center of 
the garage (soffit) and then do a straight shot (right angle to front of 
garage) from that point across the garage to the utility room where my data 
frame is located.

Getting the soffit open was more of an ordeal than I expected. This is the 
standard perforated aluminum soffit that runs in a couple of channels on each 
side. To loosen up one side I have to pull nails out of the aluminum fascia so 
I can release that side of the soffit. Ugh.

Also, since there’s nothing above the soffit, I’ve got nothing to attach the 
camera to, unless there’s a stringer in the corner, which there probably is. If 
I could open the soffit I would just put a board across it to provide a place 
to secure the camera mount.

I’m still not sure how I’m going to go about this. Grr.

Gold color is slightly preferable, and there are 50k fewer miles.  That's
worth at most an extra $500.

Also, there are many mild cases that don't progress to the deadly phase.
Older, infirm patients are at greatest risk, although some children have

Go at it the other way.  I would use my fiberglass fish rods, fed
in from outside.  Usually it will easily get 4-10 feet in from the
soffet - which makes it a lot easier to get to from in the attic.

You didn't keep it well enough oiled?

Difficult, I know, but spraying the heck out of it with oil of some sort 
every fall certainly helps if you plan to drive it in winter weather.


I tried a whole lot of different things on my old Suburban. I used AT 
fluid, Chainsaw bar oil, used engine oil, etc on the bottom and under 
the fenders on the Suburban. Some was more successful than others but 
all wore off over winter. I also used rubber conveyor belting in the 
rear wheel wells to prevent the snow and crud from being thrown up into 
the rear bumper etc. I had the rear AC lines corrode twice before I put 
the rubber belting in to control the distribution of salty snow etc. 
After that, the aluminum lines survived until I sold the truck.


With my current F150 I have had it sprayed by a shop that uses the Krown 
rustproofing system every fall before the snow comes. They spray the 
underside and in the doors etc. The oily, waxy fluid does not smell as 
bad as some of the oils that I used to spray under the Suburban.


I have also used Fluid Film on vehicles to spray inside doors etc. It 
has a bit of a peculiar smell at the outset and is not appreciated by my 
wife.


Anybody count the number of times I have used "etc"?

What about that place in Oregon that parts out old diesels? The one that Pierre 
ranted about. Can’t recall the name off the top of my head.

Pity the crew on that quarantined cruise ship docked in Yokahama.  They
have to keep on cooking, etc. and are not being tested dispute working in
close quarters and with many passenger infections already reported.

Re: [MBZ] OT coronavirus

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Thanks, this is not looking good. Yesterday I saw a chart comparing SARS to 
Coronovirus, number of infections over time, and by this point SARS was under 
control and leveled off, whereas Coronovirus is still accelerating. Couple that 
with China far more integrated into supply chains and economies globally, 
compared to when SARS hit, and we've got a big economic and human impact. How 
big remains to be seen.

[MBZ] OT coronavirus

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

WSJ reporting today suggests outbreak much worse than previously reported, 
which likely means it is MUCH worse than is being reported. NYT reporting more 
concerning than WSJ. 

WSJ morning brief:  

China ousts high-level officials as coronavirus cases soar. The removal of the 
officials comes as Hubei province confirmed 14,840 new infections—an almost 
10-fold increase from a day earlier—indicating that the epidemic is far from 
tapering off.

World Health Organization draws flak for virus response. Public-health experts 
have questioned whether the WHO has been too deferential to China in its 
handling of the new virus. It’s a conundrum that threatens the agency’s global 
authority.
Beijing pledges to stabilize economy.China’s top leaders vowed to stabilize the 
economy as they attempt to keep the outbreak under control, offering tax relief 
and other measures to keep jobs filled and ensure the country is stocked with 
necessities.

Re: [MBZ] OT: IP Cams, WAS W124 300D alternator replacement?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Interesting.

My Lorex system is sitting in a box next to my desk, where it’s been since 
arriving in December. ‘m struggling with how I’m going to get cables to the 
cameras that will go on either side of the front of my garage. My roof pitch is 
such that I will have to crawl on my belly in the attic to reach the exit 
points in the soffits. I’ve got aluminum soffits, so I have to deconstruct them 
to mount the cameras, as there’s nothing behind them to fasten the camera bases 
to. I have seriously considered mounting the cameras to the wall just below the 
soffits, but the exterior of my house is stucco, and I’m not keen about 
drilling into it to accommodate anchors.

I’ve decided that I need to resolve this over the upcoming weekend before the 
weather gets too hot. Grr.
