Re: [MBZ] CL find - Where's Mike Esh?

[Dieselhead]

Ja, but

If you read the website you sent...  it says upside down map...  so 
that implies you are upside down!


Eurocentric maps are normal in the US.  However the pacific centric 
and OZcentric maps are very interesting.  We had pacific centric maps 
in Hawaii, and there were some  OZ centric maps.  They really do 
alter your perspective.


From OZ, the US is upside down and backwards.  It is all in the perspective.

So, Hendrick, when you send pictures of your car here, they show up 
upside down and backwards.


Anyhow, wish Faye a Happy Birthday from those of us here who are 
upside down and backwards too!


Not so my friend, looking at this site will show you that there is a 
mao sized conspiracy in regards to how the world should be.

Interesting, but this would force revisiting a whole raft of things, like
sign conventions?  For example, are South latitude and west latitude now
positive?

Yes forgot to mention, that the clear indicators give it a more rounded 
looking front and it's lines flow better. The old grille was pretty 
weather beaten and had a chunk missing, so I bought an el cheapo 
avantgarde grille insert, which helps modernize the old girl.

The problem with cars like this that you know damn well that it has 
been neglected, both cosmetically and mechanically.
However this is not always the case, my TE had been neglected (used 
as a family truck) but was serviced by someone who knew what they 
where doing. This is how I like to buy cars and is better than a car 
that has had a million coatings of wax but only one oil change.
Obviously Roger would frown upon the condition my S124 is in, inside 
and out but for my purposes it is perfect (apart from the colour).
I know people with fancy cars and they forbid their kids from eating 
or drinking in the car and I reckon they love their car more than 
their kids.

[Michael Canfield]

I am not around St. Louis but if you ever need the same in Upstate NY you
are more than welcome to park here.  I have lots of room.  Might be along
your route, I am about 50 miles off from I90.

It may.  Is there a stubby little switch sticking out from left side 
steering column below (toward dashboard) the steering wheel?  Push downward 
on it to move wheel down on steering column; pull upward on it to  move

Yes, I agree with that. I did better than that with part of the miles
being fueled by regular instead of premium. (BTW, it seemed that the fuel

I am beginning to suspect SWMBA is in a tizzy about #1 boy going to  
college and is making a massive sweep of the property in an attempt to  
find meaning in her life.  Chix love the boy, whereas #2 boy is not  
favored of chix, because he does not lavish praise upon them or do his  
chores related to them.  Told him if I treated him the way he cares  
for the chickens, he would die of thirst, but would be well on his way  
to starvation as he died.

The Girlings in old Saabs connect the front and rear cavities with a thin slot,

Boy, one little mistake will throw the whole thing off!

Reminds me of my high school calculus teacher who had us work out test
problems on the front sides of our pages of paper and then fold the test
in half vertically so the back side of the last page was showing and then
write our answers there. That was all he looked at when grading.

Re: [MBZ] 123 PS pump threads

[Dieselhead]

Well, some light was shed today on the uncooperative threads.  I used 
the die (5/8 NF - 18) on the threads of the tubing nut on the loose 
hose.  After a little difficulty starting the die, it went on and 
cleaned right up.  Took off most of the cad plating, but no big deal.


I tried the die on the nut on the hose on the car, and could not get 
it to start straight.  If I could chuck it in a drill press, with the 
die flat on the table, I could probably get it started straight.  But 
because it is on the high pressure hose, there is no way to do that. 
A vice to clamp it and a thread tap machine would work, but I don't 
have access to that either.  Probably will just swap hoses.


So, I tried running the tap in the pump thread.  Seemed like it would 
not start, so I tried turning it backwards a bit.  This turned out 
what looked like a broken off thread inside the pump.


It turned out that it was a helicoil.  I tried starting the tap in 
the helicoil, and can't get it started.  It started raining a lot and 
got real dark so I quit again.


I think I will probably swap the PS pumps, and use the loose hose. 
But when I get a day with good daylight, I may try to straighten out 
the helicoil and tap again.




1980 240D with 1981 engine


I went out to look for tap and die to clean the PS pump threads and 
the hose threads.  I thought it looked about the same as a spark plug 
(postwar to 1980) so I was thinking it may be 14mm.  Turns out it is 
5/8 NF.  Checked the measurements and pitch several times.


So, I guess that the original PS was adapted from 'Merican cars or 
'Merican hoses off 'Merican aircraft engines.   Same way the krauts 
adapted 'Merican tire measurements (5 1/2 JK 14)  Maybe they adapted 
it from a chrypsler.  I know the front wheel bearings are the same as 
old chrypslers, and the wheel  bolt

 pattern seems to be adaptable to a chrypsler product.

Interesting stuff.  What was the first MB with Power Steering?  Did 
the Adenauer have PS?




I find it easiest to start threads when the pump body
is loose too.

Re: [MBZ] Bio who?

[ernest breakfield]

it might depend on what you mean by "non-conventional fuel", but i can 
tell you that the ~75K+ miles i have on almost exclusively B99-B100 has 
been in an '85 300D California model. (this car went through at least 2 
open campaigns with Mercedes to replace the original Particulate Trap 
with something else, then replace that with something else again,... but 
that last one was back at ~121K miles, just before it's life on BioD 
started.)


the issues related to modern vehicles not doing well on BioD is 
related to the Late Post-Injection systems, not so much the Particulate 
Trap itself. keep in mind that there are little-to-no particulates from 
BioD; my left rear bumper stays almost perfectly clean (unlike when 
running #2!).

I remember in 1974 begin of my life in the 'free market' slavery

was an old dude and told me that eggs are balanced relative to
cholesterol.  Plus, you are raising those chix in a stress free

high output environ/food at an egg farm.  I picked eggs at an egg
pharm for years one day per week.  Yuck!  Purely disgusting in early

Pull the tank off and let it drain out the bottom hole.

Then dump all sorts of solvents in there to try to clean out the

Re: [MBZ] Drain Front Brake Resovoir

[Dieselhead]

it will drain when you open the (rear) bleeders.   It is set up to 
hold fluid as long as possible for the front brakes, as they do 
70-80% of the stopping.  In theory that is meant to get you safely to 
someplace for fluid/repairs when the rear brakes fail.


so, the front section fill first, then the rear section will fill.

You can flush out some of the black stuff by flushing with DOT4 fluid.

It is also a good time to consider a switch to DOT5.  Keep in mind 
that DOT4 and DOT 5 don't mix.  If you switch, you need to flush with 
DOT 5, and that takes most of a quart to flush until no more DOT4 (or 
Dot 3) comes out.




Looking at the brake fluid resovoir on the 83 300D. It is a Girling. 
I've suctioned all the fluid out from under the cap but the front 
section is seperate and still full of fluid. Starting to take off 
the front calipers to rebuild them when my Rusty parts get here.


How do I get the fluid out of that sectiion? It looks dark like old 
fluid. I expect it will drain out when the calipers are removed, but 
don't know how I will get fluid back it in. Doesn't look like any 
connection to the rear compartment.  I don't remember seeing one 
like this before.

A local retired commercial fisherman has the rustiest MB inside and 
outside I've ever seen.
Asked him why he parked it with one wheel up on the concrete wheel stop
in the parking space, and he said the driver side door wouldn't close otherwise.
It ran good and didn't have many miles on it.
He said it got rusty because he sometimes threw his wet nets on the seats, in 
the
trunk, and tied down on the roof.

This would be a good MB to enter in the MBCA Car Show.  It should
make it all the way to the West Coast with a little help from members along the 
way.
After the show, someone out there could park it in their backyard and then 
enter it in the
Pacifica Rusty Car Contest. (See attached.) which is probably the only contest
that MB has never won.

In a study published in 2010 in Nutrition Journal, Katz and his

Moderate egg consumption doesn't appear to be linked to an increased

Usually, pouring fluid in the hole under the cap fills the front section
first, then the rear section. (All the fluid is added through the hole
under the cap.)

Perhaps the nylon is stained and the section is really empty?

It's the same one posted back in 2003, but it's nice to see it again, and
to see the finished product being removed from the assembly room.

The article says, "it ... injects 6.5 ounces of diesel in every piston
for every cycle."

Since it's a two-stroke engine, that's 6.5 ounces per piston per
revolution.

Since it has 12 cylinders, that' 78 ounces per revolution.

Since it runs 102 revolutions/minute, that's 7956 ounces per minute
(which is 62.15625 gallons/minute).

At that rate, it's 477,360 gallons/hour.

The article says it produces 109,000 HP, which is 3.597e+09 ft-lb/min.
That is also 4,622,387.7 BTU/min.

Since one gallon of diesel has about 120,000 BTU, 62.15625 gallons of
diesel has about 7,458,750 BTU.

Since the input is 7,458,750 BTU/min and the output is
4,622,387.7 BTU/min, the efficiency is 61.97%.

The efficiency seems high, but the fuel consumption seems astronomical.
Where do the put all the fuel? At 31 knots, a trip of 3100 nautical miles
will take 100 hours, for a total fuel consumption of 47,736,000 gallons.
At 7.48 gallons per cubic foot, the fuel tank would have to be 6,381,375
cubic feet. If it were a cube, that would be 185.48 feet on a side.

Well, OK, for a ship that's 1300 feet long, that's not too much

But still!

There's a port between the two sections - when the front one gets close to

[MBZ] MBCA and Pacifica Car Shows

[Gerry Archer]

A local retired commercial fisherman has the rustiest MB inside and 
outside I've ever seen.
Asked him why he parked it with one wheel up on the concrete wheel stop
in the parking space, and he said the driver side door wouldn't close otherwise.
It ran good and didn't have many miles on it.
He said it got rusty because he sometimes threw his wet nets on the seats, in 
the
trunk, and tied down on the roof.

This would be a good MB to enter in the MBCA Car Show.  It should
make it all the way to the West Coast with a little help from members along the 
way.
After the show, someone out there could park it in their backyard and then 
enter it in the
Pacifica Rusty Car Contest. (See attached.) which is probably the only contest
that MB has never won.
Gerry

Can I bring my wvo burning 300d and my neighbors $450 td?

Re: [MBZ] CL find - Where's Mike Esh?

[Hendrik & Fay]

The problem with cars like this that you know damn well that it has been 
neglected, both cosmetically and mechanically.
However this is not always the case, my TE had been neglected (used as a 
family truck) but was serviced by someone who knew what they where 
doing. This is how I like to buy cars and is better than a car that has 
had a million coatings of wax but only one oil change.
Obviously Roger would frown upon the condition my S124 is in, inside and 
out but for my purposes it is perfect (apart from the colour).
I know people with fancy cars and they forbid their kids from eating or 
drinking in the car and I reckon they love their car more than their kids.

Ok, minor setback, but Rusty would have access to fresh. Was going  
to have to trade out the wrong head bolts Tom sent anyway.  Needed  
hex, he sent star.   While it was open, should replace the chain  
tensioners.  Would have ample time to arrive while machine shop had  
the head.


Lift head off and move it out into daylight to see what is what.
Wipe up and look for where the gasket had gone bad.  Yep, right  
between two and three, on three.  Wear and missing a bit around the  
edge.  Just enough for gases to flow into coolant.  Damn.  But no  
damage visible, so, ok, try to get gasket off and look around  
underneath.


Wiping up the stay coolant and oil schmutz.  Looks good so far.   
Minor rust on cylinder walls of three  and two.  Mental note for  
red scruffy pad to take care of that.  Get some light on the whole  
thing and start seeing other issues.  Cylinder walls are smooth, no  
cross hatch at all.  And WTF, there is some crazing on top of #1.   
Crap!  That is a CRACK!  and there looks to be some stress wear on  
all the cylinders around where the pre-chamber divot is.


POOP.

No way will I be able to swing a rebuild.  SWMBA is no at all  
please that I am even tinkering with Gump.  Spent the rest of the  
day stripping out all usable parts for posting on CL.  Maybe I can  
recoup some of the cost.

[MBZ] Drain Front Brake Resovoir

[alanduff]

Looking at the brake fluid resovoir on the 83 300D. It is a Girling. I've 
suctioned all the fluid out from under the cap but the front section is 
seperate and still full of fluid. Starting to take off the front calipers to 
rebuild them when my Rusty parts get here. 

How do I get the fluid out of that sectiion? It looks dark like old fluid. I 
expect it will drain out when the calipers are removed, but don't know how I 
will get fluid back it in. Doesn't look like any connection to the rear 
compartment.  I don't remember seeing one like this before.

I did point out that the bar bill and time at strip clubs had  
decreased to near nothing since Gump arrived.  She thinks I am still  
and idiot and should use my time in the garden or other girl type

I'm using the FlexT9 input on the Evo4G - it does Swype like input, but on
the Android keyboard, and  adds voice dictation, which works surprisingly
well. It's made by Nuance - home of Dragon Naturaly Speaking.

[MBZ] 123 sunroof drain cleanout

[Dieselhead]

Duh!

Nevermind.  I found the drains in the front corners.

The wire goes down about 3 feet and hits a hard stop in the area of 
the hood hinge.  This may be the problem.  Should the wire go further 
and not hit a hard stop?  I think so.


Will keep working at it.

This joker has been trying to flog that POS for a while, you'll be happy

day, well the seller listed the 116 at 6K, got no interest and then 
re-listed it at 6.5K because it needs to go ASAP.
Oooh and you gotta love the timing chain hanging out of the M110, not a

Of course it can. Increase the posts of Craigslist ads about cars nobody

And I've seen where you park your cars, down on the road under the trees

[MBZ] 123 sunroof drain cleanout

[Dieselhead]

I  came to the conclusion that the sunroof drains on the 81 have been 
plugged for years.  Rust and water level lines inside confirm this. 
I have been looking for  the drains and poking around with #10 wire, 
and not found the drain exit out the back.  Now that I have the roof 
out, I'd like to get the drains open.


Is there any way to clean them bottom up?  (I think they are hidden, 
so I doubt this is possible.)


How do I find the exit holes for the drains?

On a 124, you can see them if you get the light just right.  I can't 
find them on the 123, and the book has nothing about the drains or 
cleaning the drains.


I am running the wire back along the outer edge of the sunroof 
cavity, roughly in line with the chrome slides.


TIA
