I have a Snap-On TA360 which measures at the socket, really handy for heads
that do strange degrees like the Volvo S70 at torque plus 130 deg.

I have used new batteries from Costco and Interstate, and have found Interstate
to be the better of the two. Typically I don't buy batteries, usually I go down
to the marine shop I used to work at and grab a discharged battery off of the
core rack that has a recent date code, charge it and test
Haha I think I looked at that car in 2009, head is in the trunk and it does not

If your boat has not been in salt water, used regularly, and correctly
winterized there will be some sediment in the bottom of the block but not the

When I got my first 240D the rotors were around 1MM below min. thickness. When
the brake lining wore down, the steel base on both sides contacted the steel
anti-rattle clip causing severly reduced braking. I have never seen it since.

If that has 5 lug wheels, (1 1/16 X 1 3/8 spindles) the axles are most likely
3500#. If they are 6 lug they will be the 5000# axles. The smaller axle had a

I have to chime in on this one, On my last 240D somewhere around 2001 I started
getting water in the passenger rear footwell, a tip from the MBZ list lead me
to check the firewall behind the battery and the drain by the right hood hinge.
The drain was plugged and the firewall was corroded
In the marine industry it is even worse, There is a good chance that the boater

no money and only liability insurance, it was perfectly driveable so we didn't
