[MBZ] 190D injectors - success!
Had time today to get the injectors swapped into my '84 190D. A very easy job if you've got a 1 1/16 deep socket (thanks Fred!) a 14mm wrench, a little hook to grab the heat shields and a little patience. I'd put on McMaster Carr viton line for the injector returns and was able to pull it off and re-install without leaks although I had to replace one because the frontmost injector was clocked differently and the old line wouldn't fit. I should probably replace the line from the front most injector to the IP as well as its kind of short. Car started very easily after the install which surprised me. It idles better, smokes not at all after a small puff at startup and is noticably quicker off the line. The nozzles I had put in are Bozio and slightly larger than the originals which shouldn't make much difference but it was fun telling Angie that car should be a little bit quicker. :) I need to root around in my parts bin, one of the plastic injector line clips is missing, I'd bought some years ago, just need to find them. Something is still not quite right in the rear end, does replacing lower control arm bushings require alignment? I think I already know the answer but... -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

Are we going to have a rustQ for your 190? I think I owe you big as I can't get your car to overheat!

$118. I scored $0.99 shipping... So about $250 total including heat shields and shipping and the cleaning and calibration. -Curt From: Meade Dillon dillonm...@gmail.com To: Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com; Curt Raymond curtlud...@yahoo.com Sent: Monday, November 24, 2014 2:07 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] 190D injectors - success!
