Re: [MBZ] Slow weekend
I am off to work on a rental property. No dermaters, peppers or eggplans, but I do have scarlet runner beans and tomatillos getting ready for outdoor planting. Quelites are volunteering and walking onions and garlic chives are plotting a takeover of vacant garden areas. Fava beans have been direct seeded but thus far have not poked their heads above ground. We are in a severe drought and all outdoor watering has been banned. My herbaceous friends will be making it on greywater and the much-prayed-for rainfall this year.

Re: [MBZ] the OK Don 300D
Its not bad, but its a penny that keeps turning up. It is a small world though, when I sold it the guys address seemed familiar. Turns out he has this 123 that has been sitting in his driveway for at least 5 or more years with the hood up, never moves. I had stopped in to see if it was for sale a long time ago and was always told it was not. Thats who has the white car now so it will probably sit for years.

[MBZ] OT: Well that explains it
Remember a couple weeks ago when I mentioned the check fuel cap on the Ranger being on? Today I learned why. I was about to weld new safety chains onto my snowmobile trailer when I noticed the spare tire was hanging way low under the truck. I slid under and realized I have an issue... Theres a big pan that holds the whole spare tire assembly and the front mounts had completely rusted away. This is directly below where I'd had to repair rust damage in the bed a couple years ago (that repair still looks mostly good BTW) so it shouldn't be a huge surprise. The evaporative canister lives on top of the front of this pan. The big drop was only prevented by the wiring to the canister holding the front of the pan off the ground. Unfortunately the hose from the tank to the canister goes to a plastic fitting which is now broken, explaining the check fuel cap light. The cap is tight but the tank vent system isn't... A friend's brother works at a salvage yard and says to head on down on Monday and he'll hook me up with a pan. The same friend is the owner of a shop which will drill out the 12 big rivets that hold the pan in place for me. It'd be way easier to burn them out with a torch but considering the gas tank is right there... -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
[MBZ] Followup on the SDL Timing
After I thought I had finished up the work on the SDL Timing, I ran the car a little then found it had an air leak in the fuel lines and bad glow plugs. I wanted to check the GPs before I put the intake on but SWMBO had run off with the vehicle housing my good multimeter, so I wasn't able to check them then. So today was the day. Put in a new starter, then the GPs. Since I didn't have a ALDA shim the last time, Today I had time to try to create one out of something. I tried a copper seal from the oil drain plug for the 603. It was too small ID and OD. Wondered if I could stretch it out using a needlenose. pulling it oval, turn 90 degreed, then pull oval again. after may a dozen pulls, I rounded it out, and found it was still a little small. So a few more pulls, round it out, and it was a snug fit in the base of the ALDA. It went together nicely. So, to recap: First: replaced ball joints and UCAs. Then: Replaced AC condensor then had to move the timing chain forward a link to retard the valve timing a tooth. That corrected the timing. Then I had to remove the IP to correct IP timing. While the IP was out, I put a new oring in the shutoff valve, tightened the cover plates New GL-5 antifreeze. WP and Idler are good! Put in new Beru GPs in #3 and 4, as they are next to impossible to change with the manifold on. Found original fuel lines on the engine: prefilter to heater, and heater to Main Filter. Marked 86 replaced fuel hoses in the engine bay. Replaced the other 4 GPs Replaced starter Replaced a few hunks of vacuum hoses So, a simple replacement of the condensor ended up in quite a bit of work spanning several weeks (some delayed due to weeks of cold rainy weather) Road test today: Sounds way better. Runs smoother. no lifter click. Takes off better from a start. Does not chirp tires. Does not smoke on floored 0-65 MPH runs, so the ALDA is not over-fueling. So far, fuel consumption appears to be better. Leak from shut off fixed. Fuel leaks around IP appear to be stopped. Accelerates well at 65 MPH. It is NOT a 240D! (They have their place) So far it seems like it may get better mileage. Time will tell. Seems like there may still be an air leak in fuel lines. Will find out tomorrow. Probably should replace the one remaining line under the hood and the hoses at the tank. May still be able to use a little more ALDA shim. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] 91 350SDL trim color
Exterior color of my 91 350 SDL is black, #040. Can somebody tell me how to identify the color code # of the grey trim on the bumpers and side lower trim? 'Need to order a spray can of it from Tower Paint. Is it with the regular paint code on the data plate on the radiator brace? If so, which one is it?
