I'd be more worried about a tired engine.

I am not sure I have had several cars that would not shift out of 1st (or 2nd) 
and came to the conclusion in those cases it was something with the governor. 
It would also be a stuck kick down solenoid but I would think it would at least 
upshift at or near redline though.

Right, but some of the 3.5s had names like S300D. The easiest way to remember 
is 
if it's a 126 or 140 from the 1990's, it's got a defective 3.5 or a replacement 
engine in it, or it wasn't made for the USA market. If it's a 300SDL from the 
1980's it has a solid bottom end, just watch out for trap oxidizers and cracked 
heads.
AFAIK, all the 1990's E class (W124 and W210) engines were pretty solid, but 
the 
606 had some fuel line issues.

'Not a rodbender.  '90, '91 350SD's  SDL's (126's) and '92 - 94/5 350
140's are the rodbenders, though my 91 350SDL @ 191 kmi seems OK so far,
'cept broken triming chain at 89 kmi.

[Smith, Todd]

I remember plenty of list dicussions concerning rodbenders and how only factory 
rebuilt engines were free from the problem.  I recently stumbled across this 
vendor, Metric Motors and wondered if they were close enough to factory or if 
their engines would rodbend as well.

I do believe (could be wrong though) that the venerable Dr. Booth
stated that Metric motors were good for 617 engine rebuilds, but that
even their rebuilds of the 603.971 (rod bender) engines didn't last.
Only a factory rebuild was acceptable.

I didn't know if they would be able to correctly rebuild an rodbender or not.  
Their price is what I remember Marshall said that a factory motor was going for.

I think it had to do with the hardening of the cylinder walls that
only the factory could do properly.
