I have no problems with the fan clutch or the cooling system. In this climate
you want everything to be working at its peak, as efficiencies really kick in
when you have 98F ambients with 100% humidity, that's all.

How many million mpg you think you're gonna get?
I think 35mpg while running around LA at 85mph (which means half the time at
85mph and half at zero sitting stuck in traffic) is pretty good. If I were
somewhere flat like Florida or if I didn't have to sit in traffic or didn't run
so fast I bet

Thanks for joining the fray in our little group. It is always good
to have perspective form other parts of the world. You guys get more
interesting choices in cars and options than what the MomBUSA bowties
let us have here. But we got the 300SDL that nobody but NA and
Japan got.
Haven't driven it very far, didn't see any coolant loss yet.
Head is a #20, was pressure checked by machine shop prior to installation, so I
would really doubt that, but that is the must common reason for pressurized

SONDY REINDEER
By Wilton Strickland
In 1978, at Sondrestrom Air Base, Greenland, I occasionally drove up a VERY
steep ice/packed snow and ice road (first photo link below) with fine gravel
sprinkled on top of it to a plateau and hills
I may try something along those lines, attach a pointer to the socket and lay a

That is a good idea. You can feel the bolts
yield. To my thinking, if you get 85 or 95 º of
turn, as long as you feel the bolt yield, it
won't make that much difference. So I don't
think you have to be that accurate.

So should I pull one bolt at a time, measure stretch to make sure it is still
within spec, then torque in the three stages without the ten minute wait before
the last 90 degree turn, or do I need to keep the wait?

No, that is not what I am saying at all. Follow
the book procedure. On a normal bolt, the more
you turn it, the tighter it gets. On the stretch
bolts, as you make the two 90º turns per the
book , at some point in the turn it no longer
takes increasing power as the bolt turns. This

NO! - Loosen the bolts in the pattern in the book - then re-torque/stretch
them per the book. Do not pull out the bolts one at a time - at the risk of
warping the head.
