HOLY SMOKES, I thought you were rebuilding it yourself? I bet that DADGUM engine cost a pretty penny.
I was planning to rebuild it until we pulled the head and found out that it was cracked. And after pricing out parts for the rebuild, plus machine shop work, plus running around to the machinist, plus taking time off of work for all of the above, the scales evened out to simply paying a couple hundred bucks to *not* have to do any of the above.
And we even got to keep the same engine number. ;-) -- John L. Ervine 1981 240D 4-spd 270+kmi 1980 300TD 175+kmi 1980 300SD 277+kmi 1977 280S 4-spd 81+kmi 1976 350SE 4-spd 163+kmi
