Bad news mao, they crushed the 240D. They brought out four 190Es and an E300, but those don't do either of us any good. Sorry it didn't work out this time, I will keep an eye out if they get another; this yard tends to turn over at least two rows every week, though this was the first 123 I've seen

As long as you get the block mount and the tensioner mount, any diesel, OM621, OM615, OM616, OM617, will mount any alternator or generator from any other engine. My son's 110 200D 2.4 has an 81 OM616 engine with the alt and mounts from a 116 but I forget the engine type. Probably a 450 gasser

Maybe, yes. They are the ABS that has NO vacuum booster. The failure mode is that the boost seal in the cylinder starts weeping, then the pump starts to run too long until it seizes... Voilà! You have full manual breaks! (hope you have strong leg muscles!) -- John W Reames jwrea...@comcast.net

Yeah, I've seen the makerbot's, rep-raps, and similar DIY printers, but they're still very primitive compared to what I have access to right now. I'm not saying that they aren't worth the time or effort to build and operate, just that I can more effectively employ the multitude of subtractive proc

3D printers can be built for $1000 or less but they use plastic not metal. A manufacturing-sized machine, maybe it would use different plastics, would cost a lot more, but they exist for prototyping and limited production runs. Metal can be done with an electro-something process but it takes
