well, possible. When I first bought the SD, I had the compression checked - all was fine but for one...but it turned out that the valve was sticking pretty good, so that PROBABLY solved that - never tested compression again. Oddly, with the oidle having been adjusted up for a day now, the rhythmic revving is much less. I do believe that it is the interplay between new timing chain, idle adjust and new rack damper bolt. Adjusting the rack damper bolt out a hair would probably make it perfect, but since the revving is so little now and seemingly disappearing...I'm just going to let it go. And once the engine is hot (good and hot) there is no revving at all - so, think i'll leave well enough alone for now. Chris

I wonder how difficult it would be to install a vacuum pump in-line with the main vacuum system? Surely the electrical system would be robust enough to power a small pump - I assume a pressure activated cut-off switch could be added? The vacuum door locks are one of the most frustratng systems on my W123. What should be a very simple, dependable system turns out to be overly complex IMHO. vacuum lines going to all doors, trunk, etc - could be more easily electric - but that kind of retro fit would be too much. I'm tired of removing door panels, puling up carpets, etc. Besides, last time I checked a rear door that had a definate leak "sound" tested perfect when I had it apart. Also, all the other door locks worked perfectly while the door was disassembled so I could check things - the doors opened and closed 3-5 times with the engine off. Just like it's supposed to work. Then,, later that day the locks were back to not locking, not unlocking, and being very slow when they did work! Of course, I'd put the door back together by then. A vacuum pump however - using the existing system and overcoming minor leaks - would be workable - while the individual modules could still fail, unless a major tear/hole developed in the diaphragms they might still work. Or is this a crazy idea?
