Folks
I do not have a working odometer (speedo works) but since google is my
friend
it tells me 724 miles for the round trip then i add about 30 miles for
some side trips which gives me 754 miles
i kept track of the fuel used, about 36 gals, starting full and
refilling on return
so

Thanks Scott,
injectors were rebuilt by bosch service less than two years ago. They were
functioning well before the transplant. I will ask the mechanic about it.

Yep, except the only thing the gas engine will do is maybe shoot flames out the

Oh, I forgot about the EGR sticking -- muffled knock, low power (very
low) and ENORMOUS amounts of inky smoke.
Happened on the Volvo, not the MB, but quite impressive none the less.
Has nothing to do with pump timing, and will vanish if you get the EGR
closed and pull the vac line.

Good call. The radiator cap needs to be tight as being loose will lower
the boiling point of the water. Loose cap = nearly atmosphere pressure,
tight cap should be 3 bar/45psi (I think?).

Thanks, I had a feeling I was wrong. The point is that pressure in the

Yes I got my closet built out with oak cabinets and shelves, and my wife's with

the walls, did electrical covers and 2 fans, some internals for the HVAC, built
a housing for the WC fan light. Some other random stuff.

pressure raises the boiling point. a 1 bar cap will get you about 30
degrees F. or 242-250 depending on altitude and atmospheric
conditions.
