Hi All, Perhaps you remember the issues I've had with my '90 2.5L turbo (225K). I was fairly sure I had a head gasket issue but also a loud knocking noise from possibly lower in the engine. I decided to have my Indy proceed with removing the head and replacing the head gasket. Unfortunately the head gasket was fine and the head was cracked in three places near the injectors. I'm now in the position of either replacing the engine with a used engine or finding a good head. PNP's seem to be asking around $2500 for engines. I'm not sure were to find a reasonably priced head. The car is in great shape and has had a recent rear end rebuild.
I'm really in a quandry as to how to proceed. As you can see by my signature line I have plenty of transportation. I'm also being forced by my company to work in our Mexican office for possibly up to six months so I really have no need for any cars for a while. Thoughts and comments would be appreciated. And NO I'm not taking $500 from Kleb at this point. -- Ralph Wasserbaech 2001 E320 wagon 1990 300D 1987 300TD 1983 300CD 1983 300TD (parts car) _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
