[MBZ] Hot cars and hot coffee, hot
Went down the road just now to the shopping center, Cars and Coffee was this morning. Some generally interesting cars, one guy had a bronze/orange McLaren, there was a 190E 2.3-16 in general running condition that looked pretty cool, wasn't a trailer queen. One woman had a nice 65 Chevy convertible she got for her 65th bday. A few Porches and a DB9, a very nice older M6, a Lotus that looked like the engine was poured into the body, coupla older Vettes and a new one. Really nice old green woody. A blue Mini-Moke that looked fun. --R ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Sounds like a nice morning. Much better than risking heat stroke at the pick-n-pull! Took me six hours and a few gallons of sweat to liberate a #20 head from a '95 S350. I also took the injection pump, the glow plug relay, injection lines and injectors. I also have the turbo, which I didn't really want but it came off with the head, and at that point I was so beat I didn't have the energy to remove it and leave it behind. The #1 piston looked very oil compared to the rest, and the head gasket looked ruptured at the oil gallery near #1, so I'm guessing that it was burning a lot of oil and maybe bent the front rod and ovaled out the cylinder. There were no honing marks visible on the cylinder wall at #1, but I didn't check the others to compare. - Max Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

I am. Feast or famine though, they crush each car after thirty days. Now there are no 124 cars, but this 140, 126, 202, and 210 cars. I really don't need the head, but couldn't stand letting it go to the crusher. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On June 20, 2015 8:20:10 PM EDT, fmiser via Mercedes Enjoy the fact you _have_ a pick-n-pull with mercedes.
