Re: [MBZ] Alda shim WUZ: 300SDL?

On the OM603 turbo the intake manifold hangs over the IP, GPs, Alda etc. The crossflow head is more effecient than the olderintake/exhause on the same side, but that makes the engine more servicable. My experience with turbodiesels is limited to the VW quantum (never touched anything related

Agreed. +1 but, I'd suggest a trenching spade in place of a shovel. Makes quicker work of it. Also, I've been told that you cant run type NM ("romex") in a conduit as it is against code. Makes no sense to me, but you have to use the "pulling type" (I forget the type) single wires in

Re: [MBZ] OT: Practical solar application

Electrical code book does NOT permit running Romex wire inside conduit. Thus, you should not. I suggest you rent a walk behind engine driven trencher. With reasonable soil, you can trench 100 ft in 1 hr of run time to a depth of 18 inches. Then lay "Direct burial Romex wire" into the trench.
