This is getting way too complicated here..Knurling the valve guides
simply refers to making marks, or gouges on the outside of the guide in

Knurling the valve guides is a used car lot repair. There are some old
arguments about the groves left in the guide from knurling holds more oil
for good lubrication, not in a cast iron guide, knurling fractures the metal
about .005 deep for rapid wear. Silicone bronze guides? Most OE engines that

Knurling is actually a machining process that raises the metal and leaves
sort of a bumpy cross hatch surface. Sometimes its used

What Jeff said, Buy a Sprinter :) Slightly off topic, I saw a
*Mercedes* Sprinter in Indiana today. Has MB ever sold a properly
badged Sprinter in the NA region? If the guy hadn't been on his way

I spoke with a FedEx employee a copuple of weeks ago that was driving a

the badging.
Apparently it was FedEx that started this whole thing but didn't

True, true. But on the slightly old van you have to either draft
yourself or find an engineer / mechanic to help you move engine
mounts, fabricate parts to connect to existing drive train (unless
you're ripping everything from motor back out and if that's the case,
more mount moves) Plus trying to

True, true
I refuse to believe in this valve guide propaganda. Nothing but pure
FUD for the engine design in question. There is especially no concerns
about twin turbo all wheel drive arrangements of said engine.
