No real problems noted. Anything else I should really look at as far as problem areas? The head on the 350SDL is usually fine, it's the shortblock that is the problem. People have differing opinions as to what constitutes top ends (some call the pistons top end, some consider it part of the rotating mass/shortblock, and call it bottom end) BUT it has been said many times that only a replacement engine bought from mercedes will solve the rodbending tendencies.

Isn't the 350DSL the one that is noted as a rod bender?? If the head has been reworked or a new head Yes. put on will this solve the problems associated with this engine?? I have found one that has 167K and has No. had the top end rebuilt don't have specifics yet as to what was done. Also what would be a resonable price? Car is in well kept condition. No real Nearly free, IMHO, unless a new bottom end can be documented. Otherwise it's a fairly bad bet. -- Jim
