Can you get one piston out from underneath? At the very least if you do it from
above you'd only need to pull one head.

For replacing rings, all he needs to do is break the timing chain,
remove
the affected head, remove the oil pan, remove the rod cap, and pull the
piston and rod out the top. He can do that with the engine in the car.
It's a whole lot more work to do it all.
That is an interesting question, can

Not warmer, the foam will reflect most of your body heat back to you. For a

I removed the hood, removed and rebuilt the engine, and replaced it all on
the '78 450SLC I had. It's not that big a deal. You do need helper to
remove and replace the hood. My wife helped me - not all that hard.
Of course, it took me almost two years, between life and scrounging for

I did remove and replace the pan on the OM603 in teh SDL - I had to lift
the engine a few inches with the lift, and remove the steering link and
shock. It can be done, but it's almost as easy to remove the whole engine.

Tonight I worked on the idea that the mounts were not bolted down in the
correct position (the plates that bolt to the chassis have a bit of slop
built in, not sure why, I guess so they don't have to build the chassis
to close tolerances).
I loosened all the bolts, started the engine, put it in
I'd look for a vacuum leak on the modulator or the vacuum line to it.
Loss of vacuum will cause abrupt shifts.

Almost certainly not. If it's that old, yes well past time for a fluid
