I'm thinking the intake manifold screws are 15 Nm, should be in the FSM. Take the intake and cross over pipe to a machine shop for a dip to clean out the gunk. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300 '87 300TD

This can be a bit fiddly, remember how the injection line clamps go on and don't drop any of the nuts. The hex head screws can be a pain in the backside to reach. Torque is 20 ft/lbs or so, they are the equivalent of 1/4 20 screws. No coolant exposed, no need to drain. Do the usual on the valve cover gasket -- totally clean cover, bang it on the head until you get a solid "thwack" to seat the seal, don't overtighten.
