About perfect.  '82 will have the new pump and cam giving it a bit
more power and durability than the earlier ones.  A 240 manual is
kinda hard to find after '81.

As far as price and value - it's a rather high price, but it looks

Re: [MBZ] Save lives or asphalt.

2019-02-07 Thread G Mann via Mercedes
So, how does this work if I live there and go out of state and buy a set of
snow tires with studs, on my own rims, throw them in the trunk, then put
them on when there is ice?  For the next 20 years?  Is there going to be
"Stud police" to check everyones tires?

Sometimes the practical application of a law overwhelms me any thoughts?

[MBZ] Save lives or asphalt.

https://www.oregonlive.com/commuting/2019/02/washington-bill-would-ban-studded-tires-in-2025-charge-fees-on-new-purchases.html

The Puget sound area is under winter weather assault.  Iced up streets and 
nobody knows how to drive in snow or ice.   Save the roads, kill the drivers.  
It is not as if Seattle really bothers to keep up the urban streets, which are 
chuck hole pocked year round, with any paving done by the lowest bidder and 
wears out within four years.

On top of it all, the electric cars are not able to charge up enough over night 
to keep the range required for anything more than a hop to the corner Starbucks.

Re: [MBZ] 1984 Mercedes 300TD Turbo Diesel Wagon Crack??

2019-02-07 Thread Clay Monroe via Mercedes
Cars are like women.

Young ones are pretty hard to gauge since the sparkle is still on them.  But, 
you can tell when the bloom is off the rose and the wear shows up.  Hard living 
takes its toll.  Sagging seats tell more than the really sweet cosmetic 
detailing can hide.  Crack smoking 25 year old will look twice her age.  Same 
sort of hard living shows up on the vegans and keto people.  A body is not 
meant to live through harsh treatment with no damage showing if your eyes are 
open.

POS jeep I have to drive may have seen regular dealer servicing, but somebody 
did not give it the full care its booklet calls for.  Maybe the dealer or owner 
did not want to service bushings.  My 35 year old SD ran smoother than this 18 
year old jeep.  With the suspension rebuilt, that SD was rock solid.  Even the 
220D complete front end replacement was less squirrelly.

Buy it, put a Sun Valley rebuilt in it then drive it home.

for $4500-$5k you have a great car.   With care, it could last the rest 
of your life.   If you look at over the long haul, it could be very cheap.

I suspect Peter meant to say "air" filter housing since that is a
common place for the crankcase vent to terminate.

But if you checked the whole engine exterior for oil leaks you
probably already looked in  the right place.

Thanks for the quick replies!  My brother followed me home and noted no 
excessive smoke.  I inspected the entire engine and there was no signs of oil 
leaking anywhere including the oil filter housing under the car.
All thoughts appreciated.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Driving with excessive oil in the engine for 1800 miles! 
Possible Issues??

High oil level can result in foaming since the crank will be splashing the oil 
badly, and that usually results in excess oil consumption through the crankcase 
breather.  Bad enough the oil pressure will drop to next to nothing.  Usually 
accompanied by large amounts of blue smoke since the oil going down the intake 
doesn't burn very well in a gasser.

If the crank wasn't thrashing the oil in the pan, there would be likely no 
effect at all.

I'd check the oil filter housing for signs of oil being tossed up out of the 
crankcase ventilation system (or wherever the crankcase ventilation system 
vents back into the intake, might be a vacuum fitting somewhere), but if it 
didn't blow blue smoke when you drove it home I suspect you got away with it.

Damage from oil going down the intake would be excessive deposits on the 
valves, piston crowns, and in the cats and oxygen sensor, so if it runs well 
and gets normal milage I'd leave it alone.

I know nothing about current rice burner engines, but I'd guess you are 
good to go.   If excess oil had caused a problem, I would guess it would 
be evident in the form of blown out seals or some similar escape route 
for the oil.

Hi All,
      Sorry this issue is not related to my two Mercedes but there is no better 
place to ask for advice

       I recently purchased a 2014 Honda CRV with 14K through an estate sale.  
I know the family well so it's history is confirmed a one owner, no 
accident, low mileage vehicle.  It had been sitting in a driveway for 6 months 
and needed a good detailing but looks almost brand new.

      When I went to pick up the vehicle I noticed the oil level showed a very 
high on the dipstick but all other levels were good.  It was the coldest day of 
the year in the Northeast ( Queens, New York -  5 degrees) so I just decided to 
drive it 20 miles to my house before looking into it further.   The next day I 
did an oil change and discovered there was 7 1/2 quarts of oil in the drain 
pan  The owners manual calls for 4,2 quarts.  I checked the records on the 
vehicle and saw the oil was last changed a year ago and had been driven 1800 
miles since then.  It looks like the repair shop apparently overfilled the oil 
during that change.  There is no evidence of oil in the engine compartment and 
the car ran fine on the trip to my house.

What damage could this have caused?

Any precautions should I be taking at this time?

Are their future issues I should be looking for or did I dodge a bullet because 
it is apparently running normal at this time?


Thanks in advance for your help!
