Good catch Wilton, I have to be careful and not hang around foreign forums.
Anyway the way things are going it won't be long before we are

Pull the clip and pop the hose out. No need to get under for the oil drain, it
just pops right off. You and also get the feed from up top, its just a blind

Guess I shoulda started pulling the timing chain guide rail pins on
the head earlier. Top one came out ok. Bottom one is recessed in
the head. That way it collects water and induces that good ol steel
to aluminium chemical bond. It appears to have no separation between
the pin and the head
I think mine was recessed as well.
Head is toast already, no? Drill it out, or break the guide and get a new
guide?

The head is loose.
I have to go get a short hunk of chain to hook it up to the engine hoist.
Max, Yes, I am hoping the head is ok. Not proven yet.
No inspection yet, as I have not lifted it up yet.. Just got it

I need the MB Tex (palomino) for my 240D, s drivers seat. I intend to

Fan switch is bad or the wire is grounded somewhere. It won't ever go
over 80C with the fan going and cool temps outside unless the
thermostat is bad.

Did you fully burp the system?
Air backed up will compress and cause issues, so getting any stray air out
allows the hot water to flow all around. Might be that after letting it cool
down, enough of the steam/compressed air escaped the system and more water was
then able to complete its travel

That's what I figured. The coolant leve
put it up on ramps when you fill so that the air has to travel upward to
escape. Light it off when you think it is full and keep it on the ramps until
the needle starts to move. Pop the cap and pour more water in until full, then
cap it and pull off the ramps and hit the road

Ya think? I took pictures. The metal part of the gasket is actually

engine) But a blowout into

What happened?
Air bubble, big one. My method is to pour the coolant
into the tank, pull off the upper radiator hose and
backfill water into the system until it's pouring out
over my hand which is holding the bottom of the hose
against the bottom of the radiator neck, but leaving
