I didn't put ether in it. If the head is cracked, and it probably IS cracked, that or a cracked block, its because of the massive overheating the time the lower radiator hose clamp broke and the hose fell off. I think I misstated the effect of ether, IIRC when ether hits the glow plugs it lifts the head, ruining the studs. -Curt From: Meade Dillon <dillonm...@gmail.com> To: Curt Raymond <curtlud...@yahoo.com>; Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2017 10:51 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Interesting thread on possible replacement for group 49 battery Do you think that is what happened to that 240D with the cracked head?
