How about a ridge reamer? I think you can set that and be careful so you don't take any metal off. Dwight Giles 1979 240D auto 244k + miles Wickford, RI Bissell Cove Quahog Auto Salvage Co. - Original Message - From: dave walton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes mailing list [EMAIL

Thanks Mitch-I can smell it now. Dwight Bissell Cove Quahog Auto Salvage Co. Two stroke, probably smells like a 40 year old Saab. Just mix some oil heavy fuel (like 20:1 or so) run it in the chain saw, and it'll raise quite a stink. If the exhaust is blue, you've got it.

A friend of mine is looking to buy a good running 300D turbo or NA for bio conversion. Prefer New England or MN area. Any possibilities? Thanks. Dwight Giles 1979 240D auto 244k + miles Wickford, RI Bissell Cove Quahog Auto Salvage Co. ___ For used parts

Were they diesels? I am afraid to ask about what distinctive smell this exhaust might have. Maybe when all we can buy is electric cars, some cans of vintage MB D exhaust would be a big seller. Dwight Giles 1979 240D auto 244k + miles Wickford, RI Bissell Cove Quahog Auto Salvage Co. -

Curt, Any clues on what you think it is? I must confess I have been drooling over John Peterson's 90 300D but wife won't allow another purchase right now. Where are you located? I know someone locally here in RI who is looking for another 240. Could it just be brushes? OR maybe a bad pulley

is that I don't have anywhere to keep my 240D if I buy the 190D, but I figure I can probably work something out. -Curt Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2005 21:38:42 -0400 From: degcoast [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] STUPID CAR!!! To: Mercedes mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL

Marshall, I seem to recall you have advocated using Techron in the fuel. Would that be a good idea in a situation like John's? Is Techron better than Purge for a tank additive? (I know that direct Purge is best). Thanks, Dwight. ** Dwight Giles 1979 240D auto 244k + miles

You are facing selling it to Kaleb (or me ) for 500 dollars. Did the bolt break or just come loose and drop off? Dwight Giles 1979 240D auto 244k + miles Wickford, RI Bissell Cove Quahog Auto Salvage - Original Message - From: Harry Watkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes mailing
