My big tip: Be sure you have the right torque values for all the fasteners. My '85 wagon was non-turbo, but I mistakenly used the turbo engine procedure and the torque spec is far higher. I twisted off a fastener, had to order a new one from MB. Took a few days to get it. I think I was able to use a hardware store bolt for the interim and keep the car on the road. ------------- Max Charleston SC
