No kidding! Mine's had an auxiliary oiler since about the mid-60's. Taps into the oil pressure sender pipe. We replaced the rocker bar on mine once upon a time, and my brother forgot to open the valve. On a long trip I started to hear squeaking, and I cracked the valve which made it go away. Later I pulled it off and had a look, the new bar had huge scoring on it. I filed off the worst of it, on bar and rockers, turned over the bar, and drove it that way ever since. I still have the car, though it's rarely used. Same car that sucked a piece of the carburetor in and embedded it in a piston. Made quite a racket. 20 minutes later I had the head off and pried the flattened piece of aluminum out of the piston. I then put it back together. There's a glorious simplicity to those old inline pushrod engines, on cars with power nothing. (Sadly, that also included the engine!) -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
