the valve guides and seals were redesigned before 1990. So that one
should have already had the redesigned ones.

Well, I made it back from Florida in my (new to me) 1990 300SEL. I love
it!! The 126 is an amazing car. I drove two 13 hour days putting 1600
miles on the new car. IT ran perfectly. I was a little worse for
wear. I went to the doctor yesterday and apparently, I picked up every
bug Florida has to offer. I have strep throat, pink eye and an ear
infection.
I did find out some very interesting information about the car. In 1994,
with 47,000 miles the valve guides/seals were replaced under warranty.
Did MB redesign the valve guides/seals so that they last longer or do I
just wait until it starts burning oil and get them replaced again? I
also noticed that at the same time, the warranty description said "valve
guides - intake wear - worn out." How would the intake be involved in
this?
