Re: [MBZ] WTB 420 SEL camshaft

[Eric Thompson]

hi guys,

thanks for the replies...yeah i was looking for a "good" used 
camshaft...this 420 SEL has about 350,000 miles on it but the 
compression is still excellent...i am also replacing the chain and 
guides while i am in there...i am not really sure what happened to the 
cam ( i took off the oiler tube and it was clean as a whistle 
inside)...the #3 intake valve cam lobe is chewed up pretty bad; there's 
a big gash on it (must have came from a piece of metal) but it's pretty 
deformed toohaven't had a chance to check the hydraulic compensator 
yet (a buddy is supposed to make me a "go-no go" tool)...i am guessing a 
bad compensator could have caused the deformation.thanks again for 
the replies


Eric

They'll all be old one day. ;-)  I'm always looking at the new stuff and
thinking 5-10 years down the road, when I can affort it.

I was clearing out a bunch of old car mags, and I found the sales brochures
to the W126 and W140, which I picked up when they were new.  I have two or
three years of the W140 booklets. When I say booklet, the early sales
material was more like a phonebook!!!  I also came across an old AMG sales
catalog, back before they were bought out by Mercedes.  Some pictures of
W123, W126s, and even a W123 wagon, fully decked out. Pretty cool stuff,
back in the days of the Hammer. ;-)  Found a couple of old RUF parts lists
too for all you Porsche fans.  Great stuff.  Anyone need the price of CTR
fenders?  lol

If you resurface the valves, maybe - depending on how leaky the valves are.
Should be no problem with a cam.

Re: [MBZ] beam patterns

A pair of 85/80w Orsams for less than $40.


The 100/80W that went into Jill's old 450 SL were much less
than that.  Got them at NAPA.  Ask for "motorcycle bulbs".
(The lighting fixtures on that car were upgraded to e-code
rounds, with relays.)

Larry,

I put them on my '92 and haven't had any issues with inspection, and PA is
somewhat more difficult  compared to VA.  When in Charlottesville I  saw a
few W124s with euros.

[MBZ] Latest Letter from Chrysler

[Tom Hargrave]

 adequate financing capacity
through March or April of this year. However, this is not a long-term
solution. Because of the continued lack of credit market liquidity, Chrysler
Financial submitted several follow-on proposals for a long-term solution to
ensure its continued financing capacity. We support the resolution of these
proposals, as adequate retail and wholesale financing capacity for Chrysler
Financial is critical to our viability. 

We are looking forward to working with the President’s designee and the
Presidential Task Force on Autos as they review our submission. As stated,
our plans are based on a conservative estimate of economic trends, continued
aggressive restructuring activities, a commitment to substantially improve
fuel economy and a clear vision to reinvent our business model. (To view
either a summary or the complete text of the viability plan submitted today,
HYPERLINK "http://scoop.chrysler.com/2009/02/17/viability-plan/"click here.)


We believe that Chrysler can be viable and play a vital role in supporting
the recovery of the U.S. economy while preserving American jobs. We further
believe that our continued orderly restructuring, together with the
completion of our stand-alone viability plan, enhanced by a strategic
alliance with Fiat, is the best option for Chrysler LLC, our employees, our
unions, dealers, suppliers, customers and the U.S. taxpayers. Our viability
plan demonstrates that Chrysler LLC will repay the U.S. government loans in
full, with a premium beginning in 2012. 

I continue to be impressed and grateful for the continued enthusiasm of our
Chrysler team. I know we have the right mix of talent and dedication to
succeed and return to profitability if we receive the assistance we need to
weather this unprecedented industry downturn. Thank you in advance for your
continued focus and support. 

Bob

 

Thanks,

Tom Hargrave

Re: [MBZ] European Headlights

[LarryT]

Thx TE.  The Porsche 911 owners manual explains how to align headlights 
using a flat surface and some tape ;-)


As far as DOT - I had some lights in a car that a PO had installed some kind 
of "high intensity" blue lights - the state inspector said without the 
alignment nubs he wouldn't pass it.  Likely another inspector would have 
checked to see if they worked and went on but this guy caught it.


Perhaps the Euro lights won't look so odd?

Thx agn -

Inspection shouldn't be a problem. All they look for is to see if they 
work,
not DOT markings on the glass. Aiming will have to be done manually, but 
the

directions in WIS or on Daniel Stern's lighting page should suffice. (not
sure of the link).

Howdy -
I am considering Euro headlights for my 91 300D - but I worry about them 
not


having the DOT alignment bumps for the US alignent machines.  I'm sure I 
can


align the lights the old fashioned way - a flat wall, some tape and a
darkened garage.   But I worry about passing the state inspections.

Anyone know?

Re: [MBZ] filter

[R A Bennell]

And, that is not the worst of it. The real pain is that it is somewhat 
difficult to get back on correctly. It is
easy enough to get it cocked a bit and bend the edge of the housing a little. 
Don't ask how I know that. I'd like
to run it up on the ramps so that I had more room to work under there but then 
fear it might not drain totally. The
sump at the front cannot hold all of the oil and so some must be at the back of 
the pan. I will drive it up and try
draining it next time to see how much comes out. If the angle is not too bad, 
the rest may drain into the sump and
that would be fine. Would make it much easier to get the filter housing on 
correctly if I could get far enough
under to see what I was trying to do. Not much room in that general area to 
begin with. MB must have assumed that
the oil would generally be changed at the dealer, on a hoist.

The housing is accessed from underneath & at an angle. And when you undo the
center bolt, oil runs down the housing, coating it and your hand / arm.

Yes, they do, actually!  The Euro pattern is much less blinding to oncoming

Re: [MBZ] WTB: Passenger side camshaft 86 420 SEL

[Tom Hargrave]

This is probably a better solution unless he can pull the cam & rockers
himself to absolutely guarantee that the rockers stay with the original cam
lobes or trust that the person pulling the cam has done it correctly.

Eric,

Lack of oil feed is one case of cam failure and something you need to watch
for. The spray bar in some of these engines was held in with plastic clips.
The clips get brittle & break away. When this happens, much of the oil goes
out the clip holes instead of the spraying on the front cam lobes.

Thanks,

There is spring that applies pressure against the oil chain guide rail. I

I've gone through everything here several times.
