Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Digest, Vol 14, Issue 37
Tom said Detonation occurs in the combustion chamber, opposite the spark plug. As the flame front burns across the chamber, heat pressure builds up until the remaining gas explodes. With higher compression, you already have more stored heat in the charge, making detonation more likely. Higher octane gas burns slower than lower octane gas, reducing the pressure heat. This allows you to run higher compression. When I read this, I had a BFO (Blinding Flash of the OBVIOUS). Part of my life was spent working as a petroleum engineer and during that time I had to learn all about the components of petroleum. Octane is the component of petroleum that has 8 carbon atoms. The comment that higher octane gas burns slower than lower octane gas caused the BFO...I had always associated higher octane with higher energy and mistakenly equated that with more light ends. It never occurred to me that increasing the octane percentage (octane content) would result in more power. It's true that it has higher energy content because of the increased percentage of carbon, but the increase in heavier components makes it less volatile overall. A lower octane content suggests that the lower carbon number components (methane, ethane, butane, propane, pentane, hexane, and heptane) would make up a higher percentage of the mix, hence making it more likely to detonate rather than burn smoothly across the chamber. In essence you are adding a heavier component to make it burn slower to reduce the problem of detonation. I know I'm a little wierd, but as an engineer, discovering that little gem of logic made my day GRIN Royce Engler 1985 300TD Turbo 293K

Re: [MBZ] What does pink tranny fluid mean?
Way back I had the problem and changed out the radiator. Flushed it like I said and it never came back, but of course I wasnt driving it either. When it first happend I thought it was either somehow getting rainwater in (via dipstick tube o ring or something) or radiator. Went ahead and changed out the radiator and told myself that if it did happen again it must be rainwater. In any case, however its getting in there it would cause the level to get too high and drip. I would flush it again and if it comes back and it has NOT been raining, then it has to be the radiator. If so, let me know, I have one I can send you. John Robbins wrote: Kaleb C.

A dental pick then removed what was left of the threads, and a new valve went in just fine (after a very good cleaning).

Re: [MBZ] Monovalve insert
Of the three washers sitting on top of the monovalve insert shaft, I had lost the 1st one in '96 but all seemed to work OK with just the wavy steel washer and the wide, thick washer on top. When I recently replaced the monovalve insert, I found a thin washer to place on 1st and on top of this placed the wavy steel washer and a wide thick stainless washer. The top seemed to sit on flush with the monovalve housing prior to installing/tightening the four screws. Results - heat only in defrost mode, all other settings heat would disppear suggesting... Remember that the monovalve is a PWM device, and needs to move back and forth up to about once a second (or a bit slower). If the 'wrong' washer business screws up its mechanical response time, either due to sapping magnetic field or due to locating the guts of the monovalve incorrectly, you could well get a valve that doesn't work right for PWM but can let coolant through when completely unpowered (as it is for DEFROST). -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] Removing Corroded Bleed Valves
When a GOOD six point socket, applied after a few solid smacks with a hammer, won't do it, you find the largest drill bit that will go in the hole, ream the dirt out of the inside of the bleeder with it, then turn it around and shove it into the bleeder shank first. Now you can't smoosh it flat with your Vise Grips. I capitalized that because it's a brand name. China Grips work for lots of things, but not this. If it won't turn with the twist drill, penetrating oil, and vise grips, you take the caliper off, remove the pistons, clean out the fluid, and heat to a dull red glow around the bleeder. Squirt a little water in the bleeder, reapply drill bit and vise grips, and remove. If that doesn't work, either go to the drill press or the parts store. If you take the drill press option, use left hand bits and hope it backs itself out before you've drilled the threads out of the caliper. After you've drilled the threads out of the caliper, drill and tap it for a bleeder replacement kit. The alternative to all the above is to leave the bleeder in place, take the caliper loose, turn it so the hose fitting is on top, stick three pads in it and bleed it by loosening the hose fitting. Another alternative is to flush/bleed annually, and replace the bleeders every ten years, with a little Nevr-Seize on the threads. Mitch.

Now you can't smoosh it flat with your Vise Grips. I capitalized that because it's a brand name. China Grips work for lots of things, but not this. If it won't turn with the twist drill, penetrating oil, and vise grips, you take the caliper off, remove the pistons, clean out the fluid, and heat to a dull red glow around the bleeder. Squirt a little water in the bleeder, reapply drill bit and vise grips, and remove. If that doesn't work, either go to the drill press or the parts store. If you take the drill press option, use left hand bits and hope it backs itself out before you've drilled the threads out of the caliper. After you've drilled the threads out of the caliper, drill and tap it for a bleeder replacement kit. The alternative to all the above is to leave the bleeder in place, take the caliper loose, turn it so the hose fitting is on top, stick three pads in it and bleed it by loosening the hose fitting. Another alternative is to flush/bleed annually, and replace the bleeders every ten years, with a little Nevr-Seize on the threads.

As the flame front burns across the chamber, heat pressure builds up until the remaining gas explodes. With higher compression, you already have more stored heat in the charge, making detonation more likely. Higher octane gas burns slower than lower octane gas, reducing the pressure heat. This allows you to run higher compression. When I read this, I had a BFO (Blinding Flash of the OBVIOUS). Part of my life was spent working as a petroleum engineer and during that time I had to learn all about the components of petroleum. Octane is the component of petroleum that has 8 carbon atoms. The comment that higher octane gas burns slower than lower octane gas caused the BFO...I had always associated higher octane with higher energy and mistakenly equated that with more light ends. It never occurred to me that increasing the octane percentage (octane content) would result in more power. It's true that it has higher energy content because of the increased percentage of carbon, but the increase in heavier components makes it less volatile overall. A lower octane content suggests that the lower carbon number components (methane, ethane, butane, propane, pentane, hexane, and heptane) would make up a higher percentage of the mix, hence making it more likely to detonate rather than burn smoothly across the chamber. In essence you are adding a heavier component to make it burn slower to reduce the problem of detonation.

Re: [MBZ] Combustion
Is that your way of saying the higher octane detonates later and therefore closer to the time when the piston reaches TDC - or almost? - I thought he was saying it was that the higher octane fuel was harder to burn, and therefore was less likely to start burning in the wrong places. I'm assuming TDC is the best place to ignite the mixture for max HP and other ignition points are preferable if lower emissions, etc are the objective? I doubt it's really as simple as all that, in fact I'm sure it is highly complex, and involves a bunch of potentially-conflicting factors. There is a pressure curve of the fuel burn, versus the position of the piston and crankshaft, versus chamber shape, versus clean-burn characteristics of the fuel charge, versus the burn quality and speed in a varying volume, versus the optimum force curve to extract the maximal amount of work from the burn...

[MBZ] Monovalve insert
Re: Message: 12 Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2007 22:48:21 -0800 From: Jim Cathey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] Monovalve insert To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Of the three washers sitting on top of the monovalve insert shaft, I had lost the 1st one in '96 but all seemed to work OK with just the wavy steel washer and the wide, thick washer on top. When I recently replaced the monovalve insert, I found a thin washer to place on 1st and on top of this placed the wavy steel washer and a wide thick stainless washer. The top seemed to sit on flush with the monovalve housing prior to installing/tightening the four screws. Results - heat only in defrost mode, all other settings heat would disppear suggesting... Remember that the monovalve is a PWM device, and needs to move back and forth up to about once a second (or a bit slower). If the 'wrong' washer business screws up its mechanical response time, either due to sapping magnetic field or due to locating the guts of the monovalve incorrectly, you could well get a valve that doesn't work right for PWM but can let coolant through when completely unpowered (as it is for DEFROST). -- Jim?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office / I just got back from taking the 300D for a ride to determine if the current washer combination on the monovalve insert would get me back to regulated heat (Note: The 1st washer replaces the original which I lost in '96 and is a thin one I found at Sears, the 2nd washer is the standard wavy steel washer which comes with the monovalve repair kit, and the top washer is the original thick, wide steel washer). Viola, I've got regulated heat again. The only problem here is trying to understand why. You see, all was working OK with only the wavy steel washer and the original thick, wide steel washer on top prior to the crack/tear in the neoprene diaphragm of the monovalve. Since the original thick, wide steel washer on top was somewhat corroded, I decided to replace this with a stainless washer when I replaced the monovalve insert, but this replacement stainless washer wasn't exactly the same size as the original. After installing the first thin washer, which I found at Sears, the wavy steel washer, and the stainless replacement washer with the new monovalve insert, I had no regulated heat on a trip from Pbgh. to Roch. and only had heat on the defrost setting. I've now replaced the replacement stainless top washer with the original steel top washer which I POR-15nd*. This combination appears to work and there doesn't seem to be any leaks at the housing even though the top doesn't sit flush (~1/16?) on the housing prior to tightening the four screws. Here's the weird part: Thickness (mm) ID (in.) OD (in.) Original 1st (bottom) washer? ?? Wavy steel (middle) washer 0.45 3/4 1 1/4 Original 3rd (top) washer*2.45 5/8 1 1/2 Sears thin washer (1st repl.)1.12 5/8 1 Stainless top (repl.) washer 25/8 1 3/8 Prior to the crack/tear in the neoprene diaphragm of the previous monovalve, the washers in place total ~ 2.9mm and I had regulated heat prior to the neoprene diaphragm cracking/tearing. After replacing the monovalve insert and using a different combination of washers totaling ~ 3.57mm, I had no regulated heat and only had heat on the defrost setting. The current combination of washers installed total ~ 4.02mm and regulated heat appears to be functioning properly. Go figure. G. M. Brown Rochester, NY

Retarding the spark to TDC or later makes the engine run smooth, but with lots less power. The idea is to get thefuel/air mixture to ignite and start to burn, and thus build up pressure just before the piston reaches TDC, and complete the combustion before it gets to the end of the power stroke. You do not want any un-burned fuel left as the exhaust stroke begins. Typically, spark ignition begins anywhere from 6 to 26 degrees BTDC. One of the reasons that Diesels don't have the initial zip of a gasser is that the fuel won't ignite until the compressed air temp gets high enough, which is a lot closer to TDC. And the CDI engines get the full fuel burn and low emissions because they use 4-5 pulses of very small spurts of fuel (some in fractions of microseconds), first to start the burn, then to make some power, keep it going, and burn all residuals - something mechanical IPs could never accomplish.

Dakar Rally Begins January 6! It's bad enough that OLN (formerly the Outdoor Life Network) has changed its name to Versus.” To add insult to injury, on the network's Web site it's easier to find an event called the Kingsford Barbecue Championships than it is to find the network's daily coverage of the grueling 2007 Dakar Rally. We'll save you the clicking and searching by providing this link to the daily TV schedule. For 2007, the event starts in Lisbon, Portugal, and winds its way through Morocco, Mauritania, Mali and Senegal, dodging deserts, bystanders, cattle and land-mines all the way. Registration for the 2007 edition includes 250 motorcycles, 187 cars, and 80 heavy trucks, with competitors from 42 different countries, including the U.S. This year's American entries include Chris Blais, who finished fourth overall in last year's rally.

Probably about as effective as pumping, and less wear on the throttle linkage. ;) Repeated pumping doesn't help a diesel at all, doesn't help a fuel-injected car at all, and can actually be counterproductive on a car with a carb. (That shot of gas from the carburetor's accelerator pump may, in moderation, help with cold starting, but repeated pumping is more likely to just flood the thing.) *One* pump before starting can be beneficial, though. On Mercedes diesels it's rumored to get the rack away from the stop position. On carbureted engines it often sets the high idle cam.

Had an interesting odometer reading at the Dairy Queen in Grants Pass, OR. Unfortunately, I didn't think far enough ahead to get the trip odometer in on the act. Car performed very well. Used a little oil with all-day-long running at 75 mph. The 240D radiator (I have not yet installed the new 300D radiator from Rusty to return the car to where it was before the October, 2004 collision) developed a horizontal crack on the rear surface of the upper plastic tank about 1 above the radiator core. This caused some anxiety when I noticed it after topping off the radiator, but once the coolant level was down below the crack, there was no leakage. Since it was winter, the system didn't heat up enough to pressurize it significantly and blow vapor out the crack. I also found out that many of the Indian service stations advertised by billboard signs on I-40 in eastern Arizona are no longer open or don't have any diesel (instead having a, We're out, sign taped on the pump). Made it an anxious time getting to the Arizona/New Mexico border where we found that, eventhough the signs for it on the Interstate haven't been updated with prices for a couple of years, Speedy's Service is indeed open. We found this out after we had driven past the offramp to it in Arizona. New Mexico, however, conveniently provided a couple of turn-arounds close to the border, so we were about to make a U-turn and fill up the tank after driving with the orange light on for quite a while.
