It says number of cylinders 6. Oh, and I see a pic of a M130 under the hood. How hard would it be to put Peter's 4.5 in there? Or my OM602 turbo? ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change

603 turbo would work fine (or a 602). M117 is a no go, the master cylinder and the left valve cover occupy the same space. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to:

That would not give me a feeling of confidence relative to the electrical system in my house… If there are high resistance connections in the system, they can be “seen” by someone using a FLIR camera. I would seriously consider speaking with your utility company, if only to go on record

Why not rebuild the engine that is stuck? Pull the head, fill the cylinders with vinegar, let it set for a couple days. vinegar will dissolve cylinder rust nicely... enough to "unstick it" . Then, pull the engine, do a complete tear down, hone the cylinders smooth... new rings, clean up

Installed that axle Wednesday night, but the knock from the rear of the car remains. The knock is most pronounced when the car is fully warmed up, during a hard acceleration from a stop while turning left. Knock frequency is low and regular, and increases with engine speed. I'm thinking

What kind of noise? Did you take the thing apart and see the clutch slipping to make your diagnosis. If not then you might want to do that. A more usual cause for that symptom is that either the plastic cord is worn down too much or more usually at the age these things are now, the little

Possible. The eldest son’s W124 diesel (95 E300D) had a really weird knock that did not correspond to any particular speed or driving type which ended up being the center bearing mount. Strangest thing I’ve ever seen/heard. Definitely worth a look. -D > On Sep 29, 2018, at 5:05 PM, Max

OK, here's what I would do. Buy for $1200 and drive it daily, fixing it gradually for a couple years before sending it for a repaint and total restoration. By then it will be worth THOUSANDS. On Fri, Sep 28, 2018 at 11:47 PM Curley McLain via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > 190c 4

Transmission mount or possibly a flex disk. Dead engine mount will generate a knock too when the mount is empy and flat after the fluid leaks out. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change

Reasons why I didn't call the utility yesterday: 1. They might blow me off. I guess that's not really a reason, at worst I wasted a phone call. 2. They might come out, say no problems found, hand me a bill for the service call, and leave. 3. They might find the problem is in my wiring, red-tag
