I think there is plenty of anecdotal information as well as direct examples of
the issues with the V12 models.
It can also be explained by the limited number of them that are out there.
If they had any semblance of reliability you would see a lot more of them
around, and the values would be

Just bolt a new damper/pulley on the 116 engine and run it. You may
need to replace the locating pins if they are lost out of the
crankshaft. They are available as replacement parts.
It is a LOT less work than an engine swap.
BTW, if you set the 123 on jackstands, you can use a floor jack

Abour 225 k miles, although I can't document that. The engine ran perfectly
but fell victim to my obsession to swap it out for a 300TD engine. A
trusted tech drove me to the Metro prior to the engine swap and can testify
to its wholesome qualities. I'd like to get $500 plus shipping from 20903

Do-able? Probably. Reasonable? Probably not. Its probably better to take a
weekend and rebuild the front end on your 300D. If it were me I'd have somebody
else do the ball joints and do the rest myself.
Then fix the 300SD, 116s are very cool.

I don't think the inside is that hard. Soak it good with penetrating

probably would have turned right out.
Before you drill, try giving it a few good whacks with a punch (in
