Fortunately Fred had sent one along, mine is too long and wouldn't have worked for this job without removing the intake manifold which I was not prepared (ie no replacement gasket) for. -Curt Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2012 15:21:10 -0600 From: Dieselhead <126die...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Delivery valves: It is done Message-ID: <a06240807ccbc8ca162d9@[192.168.1.51]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" > >So anyway this project was wonderfully devoid of any excitement.
