It “could” but doesn’t necessarily have plastic oiler tubes. These supply oil to the top end of the engine through the heads, and the stock tubes were plastic with a plug in one end. As they age, the cap on the end will fall out, and as a result the oil just drains into the top of the head and

Re: [MBZ] OT job interviewing

First of all, never, ever mention anything about a previous interview or job screening. It adds nothing to your value, and if anything, detracts from it. Understand that recruiters, whether in a recruiting firm or company, typically have no idea what the other guys/gals are doing. They have a

That is pretty cool. I would think the front seats have to be pretty substantial from a structural standpoint for airbags to be present in the seat backs. But why do the key fobs still look the same as the 1990 S-Class ones, I wonder? -D > On Feb 17, 2022, at 5:04 PM, Jaime Kopchinski via

It’s all about procedures, man. Doing the same thing, over and over and over, without change. When you’re done with your work, you go through the checklist line by line. Just like flying. No shortcuts or you get hurt or die. -D > On Feb 15, 2022, at 1:26 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes >

That’s what I’ve often thought about when I used to have an indoor storage unit. A rechargeable drill, 1/4” socket driver, and about 3-5 minutes and I could be in any one of the units with minimal effort. -D > On Mar 1, 2022, at 11:19 AM, OK Don via Mercedes > wrote: > > A neighbor of ours

I have similar concerns for the service door on my garage at the Flagstaff house. It’s a wooden frame service door, which, with minimal effort but a lot of noise, could be breached. This summer I plan on installing a steel frame/door. Not cheap, but if properly installed is far more secure and

Sounds like my former 1962 Wheel Horse. Built like a brick doghouse, however, not that great with anything other than a mower deck. I had a snowblower for it, but it was only single stage, so it wasn’t terribly effective. Pretty underpowered for the wet Midwestern snow. I think there was a
