As I said before, my 190DT Bent and an early 90's 300CE plus a similar
300D for wiring/rear-end/paatz etc.
Dream on. Some dream in Technicolor, I dream in diesel.

No, I'm not. I have met some truly gracious people and cannot hope to be
so, though I strive to achieve that state.
Aren't I the most trying guy you know?

I once passed within elbow distance of Grace Kelly on a shuttle flight

No, I was so crass as to ask for an autograph.

My 190E 1985 2.3 4cyl. auto. Was only in fair shape when I got it home.
The first thing was the timing chain, single row, so worn out that it
was rattling the chain tensioner. The cam gear had lost all of the
sprocket tips so badly that I expected it to skip out of time at any second.
Dwight.
Gee, Dwight. I thought you might be entertained.

I was going to throw out a Canon super8 camera that was left on a shelf
with the batteries in. Any one want it complete or for the lens?
Apart from the corrosion in the handle it may (?) still work.

Hi. Alles.
I'm currently stymied in my 190DT head gasket/valve job work.
Took the head off and sent it out to be cleaned and skimmed.
Ordered parts from Rusty.
Replaced guides and checked fit to spec.
Old valve faces showed some odd little marks and in one case a little bump.
Exh. seats were in
Dwight.
Info would be great.
Thanks.

Hi Fred,
I have a couple of places I can check for you down this way also, if you'd
like. My sources may be different from what Dwight may find locally. I'll let
