[MBZ] Frozen engine

[B Dike via Mercedes]

Greetings all, It’s roughly time for my annual MB diesel report and obligatory 
inquiry.  There are rumors that my SIL will be the new owner of W123 240D.  The 
family lives in WI which limits my diesel assistance to verbal support over the 
phone.  But he enjoyed a prior career as a diesel mechanic so I’m content to be 
a hands off consultant.  We still breath a big sigh of nostalgia whenever 
someone mentions the 74 W113 240D that I sold far too soon.  The best 
automobile ever to roam the earth IMHO.
Ok now here’s the question:  How does one free up a frozen engine block.  It’s 
a V12 Jag not a Benz but I wager someone here has succeeded in doing it.  Not 
sure if it’s overheated or merely rusted.  I once knew the procedures but am 
drawing a complete blank.

[MBZ] Hello Again and A Question

[B Dike via Mercedes]

Hi folks this is Bruce from way back.  My fleet of 7 MB diesels has been long 
retired (sure miss the W113) but I have introduced them to a good friend and am 
helping him out.
Question of the moment:  Who is the current online supplier of choice for OEM 
MB parts?   Back in the day Rusty hosted a great online parts service down in 
Georgia but he closed down.  There must be someone else out there.
