Well I after my 420SEL bent the valves, I have been driving the worn out 300SD. The poor old car can barely get out of the driveway in the mornings. Much less merge onto I40.
I will be replacing head on the 420SEL this week. I had considered putting an OM617 in the car, but I would like something that has more power. Hopefully I can squeeze a few more years out of the car until I can afford the cummings. Trampas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kaleb C.
