BTW, does MB mention anything about re-torquing the head bolts on those
engines? They may call for re-torquing after a rebuild i.e. a valve
job etc. , and putting 100 miles or so on them, but for a original
engine i haven't seen anything suggesting such.
Just wondering why head gaskets lets go after many miles of
service... I know, stuff happens) ;-)

Yep; thanks.
I suspect it started few weeks ago when the 2½-year old lower rad hose
blew, though I did not notice the temp going to redline. Temp was
headed up fast when I shut it down.

checked oil level - up to middle of upper red tab on the stick!!! I
