Hi All,
I am going to look at an '83 380SEC tomorrow. It is said to have a blown head
gasket. What other problems are associated with this engine? IIRC the early
380's had single row timing chains that were prone to fail. Is there anything
else I should look at?
Thanks In Advance,

Hi Kevin,
The instructions are not very clear IMO, when I installed a fast glow kit on
my 78 240D - I didn't need the relay or anything other than the wires and
new GPs.
I suggest you remove the old GPs and the connecting heavy metal wires and
replace with the new [smaller] wires and GPs.

I had the same problem with my 85 300 TD. Last night I replaced the t-stat

Check the condition of suction line from steel line to hand pump, and
the hand pump itself. Both deteriorate, and if they leak, will cause
the lift pump to pull in air instead of fuel. The result is a no-

Operate the hand pump while watching the new, clean in-line filter.
