Re: [MBZ] Another 116

Roger,  How cold? Below zero F a 61x engine gets iffy where a 60x has no problem. At -20F I've never had a 61x start unassisted although others have reported it can be done. I've never seen a 60x not start when cold except when my last 190D had water in the fuel. It started after a couple hours

Re: [MBZ] Another 116

Curt, my 83 300D starts great in cold weather. Now the 80 300SD is a little more picky, but then it has more miles and is older. I read an MB technical article somewhere about the SD 617 getting a few more HP because of the weight/size by making a slight head change that allows in a little

116 with an OM602 turbo would be lovely. The 617 is venerable and tough and all that but the 60x engines start so much better in the cold and get better mileage... -Curt On Sunday, March 4, 2018, 7:32:50 PM EST, ROGER HALE via Mercedes wrote: Kaleb, >>A

I love the 116. I hope to find a decent reasonable priced ‘80 at some point. They rust aweful bad though. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 4, 2018, at 6:32 PM, ROGER HALE via Mercedes > wrote: > > Kaleb, > >>> A 126 is far superior for sure unless you just like the

[MBZ] Another 116

Kaleb, >>A 126 is far superior for sure unless you just like the 116.<< Having owned a 116 for over 20 years, I respectfully disagree on several counts. The interior in the 126 tears and breaks down more than the 116. The plastic around the sides hides rust and cheapens

Re: [MBZ] Another 116

Over an earlier 617 powered 126? More power, about the same or better mileage, no valve adjustments needed, belt easier to mess with than the multiple belts on the 617, starts easier in cold weather, the car has updated trim that is nicer. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 4, 2018, at 6:08 PM,

Re: [MBZ] Another 116

Sure that is a possibility but by now they have all pretty much been fixed. The original 14 heads are ok as long as you don’t get them hot, but that pretty much goes for any of the revisions either, don’t get them hot. My daily, well weekend, driver has a 14 head but Curley has it rebuilt I

Re: [MBZ] Another 116

A 126 is far superior for sure unless you just like the 116. If wanting a 126 I would highly recommend a 300SDL with the 603, unless you are in love with the 617 for some reason. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 4, 2018, at 3:03 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: > > On Sun, 4
