Thanks, will check it out. Last time I had a head gasket blow like that, it idled really rough though. No telling though, will check it out. dave walton wrote: Wife works in NICU for last 20+ years. It's amazing how screwed up kids can be when they first come out and how a week later they are perfectly normal. Best of luck. Also possibly a blown head gasket on the 140 at the oil chamber in front of the #1 cylinder. It's a known weak spot. Your symptoms match mine when the gasket blew. If that is the problem and you continue to crank the car, you will bend the #1 connecting rod. Remove all the injectors and crank the engine until you start building up oil pressure. If you see an oil mist coming from the #1 cylinder, that's the culprit. -Dave Walton On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 2:08 PM, Kaleb C.

I run down in the 140 to get a burger. Afterward, getting on the highway in the 140, all the sudden something lets go, I have non-turbo like performance, and the most MASSIVE smoke screen you have ever seen in your life. Its so bad both sides of the expressway have no visibility. It was BAD!!. Get up to the next exit and get off. Limping it back to hospital. Pretty soon oil light comes on, its loosing oil quick. Get it in the parking lot, it runs fine, sounds fine, just smokes like nothing you have ever seen. Im thinking the turbo seal let go. Time for a new turbo I guess. Crap. Its still at the hospital, Im back home, getting ready to head back over there with the trailer. So I get back to hospital. Things progress. At 9:53 my first son Spencer is born, 5lb 14 oz. Labor went fine (on labor day), no problems there. Everything was fine with the baby, then he starts getting to where he stops breathing. Crap. To make a long story short, he had to be taken via chopper to a much larger hosipital in Tulsa. There he was put on a resirator because he quit breathing completely on his own. He has been there all night while we remained at first hospital. Anyway, I got around over there to seem him a little while ago in ICU. While there, they had adjusted it down so far next step was to take him off it. So they took it out. So far he is breathing on his own, but still takes spells of it going up, then down etc. So he may have to go back on it. Anyway, thats how my day went yesterday and today. More updates later. If I am working on a car deal with you, I will be continuing discussions soon. -- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] How my day went from good, to bad, to good, to bad, to really bad, to really really bad, to nightmare
Well, this car has used oil since I got it. Just assumed bent rods and would put a new engine in it down the road sometime. I then started to suspect turbo because there is NO blowby, and I keep getting things like the ALDA gooped up from oily crap. Though it might be oil from the turbo. Anyway, will be getting into it soon. Peter Frederick wrote: What a day! Glad your son is doing fine, they are very scary at that age, so tiny! If you are lucky, the turbo died on the W140 and is making lots of oil smoke -- this particular symptom got one of the guys on the Mercedesshop group a W140 cheap. Smoked like crazy (fogged things out) but was very much oil smoke. Fixed with a new turbo. Best of luck to you, the wife, and your son!

Re: [MBZ] How my day went from good, to bad, to good, to bad, to really bad, to really really bad, to nightmare
Those 3 AM feedings are a great reason to support breast feeding, as dad really can't do much more than offer to hold the 'bottle.' Wait a minute. I did all the diaper changes in the middle of the night and in the morning before taking the kid in to mom... Now that I think about it I got in such a habit of waking up and heading to the kids rooms before I was really awake that I had all the 'up at night' duty for many years. My darling wife had some hearing then and later admitted she would pretend to be asleep until I woke up and went in to see what the kids needed. You might want to think about that whole situation...

I run down in the 140 to get a burger. Afterward, getting on the highway in the 140, all the sudden something lets go, I have non-turbo like performance, and the most MASSIVE smoke screen you have ever seen in your life. Its so bad both sides of the expressway have no visibility. It was BAD!!. Get up to the next exit and get off. Limping it back to hospital. Pretty soon oil light comes on, its loosing oil quick. Get it in the parking lot, it runs fine, sounds fine, just smokes like nothing you have ever seen. Im thinking the turbo seal let go. Time for a new turbo I guess. Crap. Its still at the hospital, Im back home, getting ready to head back over there with the trailer. So I get back to hospital. Things progress. At 9:53 my first son Spencer is born, 5lb 14 oz. Labor went fine (on labor day), no problems there. Everything was fine with the baby, then he starts getting to where he stops breathing. Crap. To make a long story short, he had to be taken via chopper to a much larger hosipital in Tulsa. There he was put on a resirator because he quit breathing completely on his own. He has been there all night while we remained at first hospital. Anyway, I got around over there to seem him a little while ago in ICU. While there, they had adjusted it down so far next step was to take him off it. So they took it out. So far he is breathing on his own, but still takes spells of it going up, then down etc. So he may have to go back on it. Anyway, thats how my day went yesterday and today. More updates later.

Re: [MBZ] How my day went from good, to bad, to good, to bad, to really bad, to really really bad, to nightmare
Wife works in NICU for last 20+ years. It's amazing how screwed up kids can be when they first come out and how a week later they are perfectly normal. Best of luck. Also possibly a blown head gasket on the 140 at the oil chamber in front of the #1 cylinder. It's a known weak spot. Your symptoms match mine when the gasket blew. If that is the problem and you continue to crank the car, you will bend the #1 connecting rod. Remove all the injectors and crank the engine until you start building up oil pressure. If you see an oil mist coming from the #1 cylinder, that's the culprit. -Dave Walton On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 2:08 PM, Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] How my day went from good, to bad, to good, to bad, to really bad, to really really bad, to nightmare
What a day! Glad your son is doing fine, they are very scary at that age, so tiny! If you are lucky, the turbo died on the W140 and is making lots of oil smoke -- this particular symptom got one of the guys on the Mercedesshop group a W140 cheap. Smoked like crazy (fogged things out) but was very much oil smoke. Fixed with a new turbo. Best of luck to you, the wife, and your son!
