Ticking in the 117 engines, often is due to worn camshafts. I had bad tick
on one and I spent a lot of time and money replacing lifters when the
camshaft was problem. Basically my view point is that if the 117 ticks but
does not miss at idle then don't worry about it. When it gets bad enough to

After I got home today and was able to look at the oil, it has to be

IF the torque converter is loosing its oil, then replacing the front
seal on the trans would cure that? If I take the trans

Yeah, I came close to switching to Mobil 1 this time, but I am still

problems.

According to my tech data book, you should have a 124.032 chassis,
which uses either 15 hole alloy wheels of 6½ J x 15 H2 ET 48, or 8
hole alloy wheels of 6½ J x 15 H2 ET 44 (with suspension modification
40-0050 A). The sport suspension used 7 J x 15 H2 ET 41 in both 15

It could be worse. Mobil 1 was, IIRC, US$18/L at Carrefour (French
WalMart) in Singapore a few years ago.

use a 12mm ratcheting box-end wrench to make access easier - hard to get to
with sockets. Thread the new ones in by hand - last thing you want to do is
cross-thread the holes.Some people put a little oil on the threads, some
don't - I think the torque ratings for the plugs are for dry
Ok, the reaming is actually something I have heard of, but never really
understood what is being done. Its not cleaning the threads, its actually

So what resistance did you measure? Some meters might not give
accurate readings?
Well mind given your other comments likely they are bad.
Disconnect the wires, don't drop the nuts, use one of those racheting
wenches.
If there is not a problem with carbon buildup they should just
unscrew.
The three that I am pretty sure are bad measured somewhere in the
neighborhood of 50 ohms. I was using
an anolog meter, so I don't know, but it was on 100 ohm, and it
stopped around the middle. One and 5 looked like they were around 1
ohm.
If they are carboned up they will be tougher to get

The crap is inside the prechamber, not the main cylinder. The usual

loosened crap out the open hole.

What you are looking for is o-ring 015-997-94-48, and you'll pay about 50 cents
each for the two o-rings that fit around the bottom end of the shaft that
locates the oil filter in its housing. The oil filter in most diesel MBs has
two portions: a high-volume filtration (the open filter part at
Not the bolt, just the two little black o-rings on the nether end.
They leak when they get hard and the tappet gallery drains down
overnight. Takes a while to pump them back up.
