Re: [MBZ] spring?

I washed and waxed my 87 300D out in the sun on Tuesday. Shorts, t shirt 
and flip flops. I dont know how (or why) you northerners put up with 
that crap.

Things are improving.
The forecast is for a bit of a cold weekend here but then next week
things are to improve and the forecast is good for the next 10 days or
so after.
The lows are supposed to be -9 C and the highs around 0 C.
It is amazing how much better it is at 0 than at -20 C.

Snow is starting to melt on the warmer days and the potholes are
showing up. It is +4 C here right now according to the weather
network.

Unfortunately, Winnipeg is struggling with frozen water pipes. There
are now more than a thousand homes without water due to frozen pipes.
This is the worst it has been since the winter of 1978-79 according to
the paper this morning.
Mostly older areas of the city where the pipes are not buried as
deeply as in the newer areas.
The newer rules specify 7 1/2 feet deep. I am fortunate to be in a
newer area - and my house is about 33 years old.
The cold has driven the frost very deep this winter and the powers
that be are saying the risk may run into June as it will take a while
for the ground to thaw if it does not warm up more than normal (and it
is forecast to be a cooler than normal spring if I recall correctly).
The folks really at risk are in the older areas and on the wrong side
of the street. The water mains run down the one side of the street and
if the hookup to your house has to cross under the roadway, then you
are at greater risk because the roads are ploughed and thus do not
have the insulating snow over the pipes.

If this keeps up, I might have my 300D on the road in another month.

Re: [MBZ] changing 123 300TD rear springs

If you like having your head attached to the rest of your body, yes.

Seriously, accidents have happened.

You don't need them for the rear springs on the W123 sedan. The fronts

Re: [MBZ] Jabba parts ban

2013-08-23 Thread Rolf

I spent the better part of my youth riding MARTA and never had an issue. 
Had some interesting experiences with the crazies but never robbed or 
harrassed...


I pulled up buymbparts.biz today and saw it was down. Jabba since you 
sold the .com is there no more buymbparts?


Sounds like Trent had to go on "vacation" >.<


I've lately had good luck ordering from pelican parts better pricing 
that autohausaz and their contribution to peachparts means I'll go to 
them when the pricing is the same or close enough.


Since Rusty sold out, I've been desperate for a local worldpac dealer. 
Today my front flexdisk popped (so did my air bag beware!) and 
remembered carquest was a worldpac dealer (rumored owner).


When I called looking for a unknown part to an unknown car 
(frankenbenz), I ended up with 3 flex disks being ordered from the 
warehouse since they couldnt pull up the lemforder part #. Even Rusty 
wasn't that patient with me.

Not sure about that but make sure you dont tighten up the lock nut on

doing the transmission mount and how important it was to "destress" the mount 
when installing it.

Anyone know what they are talking about?

I presume they are referring to installing the mount and tightening things up 
while they are in the proper position, as opposed to say bolting the mount to 
the crossmember, then raising it up and bolting it to the tranny?

Re: [MBZ] 87 300TD

2013-03-07 Thread Rolf

So I actually added a step in between (before the final tightening sequence) 
and gave them an extra while to sit before that last 90*

Heads coming off again so I can pop the pistons out and rehone the cylinders 
and hope I get better compression for cheap. All the fuel my super pump dumps 
in is causing misfires.

I didn't use anything fancy at all. I just used the $40 digital torque wrench 
adapter from HF. I read a recent review about this showing it was just as 
precise (in some cases more) than others.

Looks it on sale! http://www.harborfreight.com/digital-torue-adapter-68283.html

I will certainly miss this. The nearest non autozoo parts place is a worldac 
client, so I will still feel like I am getting parts from Rusty, so not all is 
entirely lost. Will Trent still have access to the Florida warehouse? Does my 
account have a special notation "ball buster"?

Part of me died reading the announcement. No other parts guy has ever been as 
understanding and reliable (that might go both ways) as Rusty.

A little known secret about Rusty is his milk box. Often I have been unable to 
get to him during the week for parts and often have I grabbed one or all of my 
kids on the weekend to "go see Rusty". I will miss that milk box. I will make 
it the stuff of legends.

Damnit, where are my hankies.

Finally got a 7.5mm pump installed on my 87 300d. Got some bugs to work

earths gravity. Was up till 2am before I realized I have no N8 and that 
it is a N6 in the same spot and has nothing to do with the tach. My tach 
has been non op and i need to get the ELR running to fix the lopy idle 
and bad smoke when it starts bogging down. The nice thing is that once 
it is going there is not a wisp of smoke until wot in 3rd gear. Makes 
for a nice DD if I can just get the hellish smoke and rough idle fixed.

[MBZ] OT Home phone on the super cheap, $40 upfront , $0 monthly. 3enumeda

2012-12-07 Thread Rolf



I came across this article when looking for a cheap homephone solution
that outlined using a device from obihai.com.

$40 for the box, google voice (which is free) for the in and out bound
calls.

http://www.obihai.com/tutorial1.html

Now, who know how long google will let voice be free or obihai will be
in business or this will continue to work, but I figure for the $40 it
will pay for itself in 4 mos.

[MBZ] Leaking prechambers 603.

2012-11-27 Thread Rolf

#4 was leaking so bad today it was going pfft pfft pfft I could hear it. 
Temporarily I removed the injector and prechamber and seated it a bit 
better. It still bubbles. Checked on the rest 2-5 are bubbling (4 is 
still much more). I was pretty careful to make sure that the seats were 
nice and clean when I put the prechambers back in. They already had 
spacer rings on them, should I have renewed those?

Rolf,

What is the theory of using a 606 head gasket instead of a 603 
headgasket on a 603?


A head gasket for a NA 606 set would explain why there was no gasket 
for the turbo.  By definition, no turbo on a NA 606.


I have never used anything except a light coating of oil on head gaskets.

Special message to Max and anyone else who has recently BTDT:

Looks like I get to change my first OM 603 head gasket. SDL has oil
smoke, and oil running out the exhaust. Turbo compressed air outlet
to the crossover pipe is clean as a whistle, so no turbo failure.

So, I need the obvious:
head gasket kit
head bolts (or carefully measure stretch)
valve seals
turbo seal kit if not included in the head set (orings for drain,
gasket for supply)
Injector nozzle heat shields (if not in head kit)
Hose and a plastic bag to seal up nozzle holders and DV unions in
lieu of a dozen capplugs of the right size.

Things that I probably don't need as they are recent:
valve cover gasket
injector line clips
Timing chain and guides

Things I may need:
17 head or 22 head (have one in Boston. Just need to get it west)

Anything I am missing on these three lists?

Any special tools needed aside from the special socket for the head
bolts?

I may be taking the head off Fri or Sat. I won't get it back on
until Christmas time.
