The one and only flat that I ever had was a result of an edger blade
flopping off the trailer (landscaping co.) ahead of me, and my being
unable to miss it. It went in corner first and put a 8 long slice
right up the center of the tread... I know it was an edger blade, as
it was half-out
oops at least a gallon of washer fluid and a change of fuel filters in
the trunk.
I suppose with runflats it might be different...
The difference is that environmental conditions can cause a
catastrophic tire failure with little to no warning... Likewise they
can plug a fuel filter...
Places like Pep Boys etc. often sell Chinese-made engine cranes and
stands for about that price, or less. Typically if you need one more
than a couple of times it's cheaper to buy than rent, if you have a
place to store it.

Well then I have no choice. But as long as I do I'd much rather prefer OEM. Now
if the price difference is 100-200% more I still might go OEM but higher than
that economics will have to play a role.

kleb really probably has the answer here. if his boots are intact, you
might just want to get it from him and then clean and regrease it. as long
as kleb doesn't send you some klapped out POS, this looks to be your best
answer to me.

well, then buy teh lobros for big money and get the best. if that is too
much, buy a kleb special and clean, regrease and reboot it.
ok, that sounds definitive to me. i go now.

Seems like if you can get all the grit out before it wears out, you can save it
by redoing the lube and boot. Maybe buy a used one
once the boots are torn, i don't think you can jsut reuse yours. there is
dirt in teh joints

yeah, dirt and grit will get in a torn boot fast, and the joint usually dies
a quick death.

I think you can always find new OEM, whether through the dealer, or NOS.
But there comes a point when you have to ask if the cost is worth it. If
it's an old gullwing, probably. A tired W115 or W123, maybe not. But
thankfully, Mercedes made these cars in the thousands, so if you look, you

Do you have any good heads for a W124 gasser. 3 litre? Not sure to invest
the money on a full top end rebuild, or find a decent used head. The old
girl looks great, both outside and inside, but has 350,000 or so kms on
her. The valve guides would have to be good, preferably off a lower mileage
not without the whole engine attached :)

Thanks anyway, too much to ship up here. The bottom end of the engine is
very good too.
