20+ years ago in Charleston, SC, SWMBO and I were beginning a visit or tour 
of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise(?) (built during WW II) moored in the 
Cooper River.  I had long wanted to tour one, and I was finally about to 
step onto one.  My anticipation and joy were soon dashed, though.  The 
instant SWMBO'S foot touched the flight deck as she stepped from the 
well-built gangway, she said, Oh, I feel sick.  The ship, indeed, was 
not moving, but she thought it just might do so.  We left a few minutes 
later after a very quick stroll around the far inward part of the deck.  I 
vowed to go back some day by my self.  'Haven't yet.

Yorktown.  They have lots of aircraft on display, a new one of some sort 
(I forget) just arrived the last few weeks.  I have not done the tour, 
but see it often driving over the big bridge.  They hauled off the 
destroyer Laffey to have the hull fixed up, got that done, now can't pay 
the bill or to get its berth fixed up, it is sitting at some other dock 
now running up bills.  There is a submarine there too, the Claghorn? or 
something like that.

[MBZ] Time for it to Go

2010-09-11 Thread Bob Rentfro
I need to get my poor, gestorben '77 300D out of my side yard. It's
languishing there, covered, mocking me.
As you may recall, the engine seized about a month before Curt's did. I'd
like to have someone who can use its 99% rust free carcass to come and take
it. I currently have all my W123 stuff in the back seat too.
I'd like to get $200in return mostly for the relatively new Michelins
that are on it.

If anyone is interested, I can send more details. I really don't want to
send it to the bone yard...yet.

Yep, great military museum, been there more than a few times.  Highly
recommended, great for kids and adults.  They do sleep-overs for Boy
Scout/Girl Scout units, have special events / fund raisers (just had a
big VA gathering, USO has done stuff, some uber-rich even rent it out
for private events).  If you go again, don't miss the movie, about 30
minutes of WW II stuff telling the fighting Lady's story.

My experience too in a few different engines, both MB diesels and
lesser gassers.

If you don't want a new addition ON your driveway as well as TO the
driveway, avoid 0 weight anything.


Have you ever had an older (more than 15 years or so) MB diesel that did
NOT mark its territory at all?

My 300D has always dripped a little bit, not enough to noticeably affect
levels between changes, but a single drop will leave a mark on the
driveway.

 of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise(?) (built during WW II) moored in 
 the
 Cooper River.  I had long wanted to tour one, and I was finally about to
 step onto one...
 
A few years ago I attended a PCA dinner held on the USS Midway, now 
permanently moored on the San Diego waterfront. One big ship, I can tell you. 
Some 
people found their way down to the engine room but I hung around on the 
hangar deck where the bars and horse's doovers were located. Dinner on the 
flight deck for about 1000.

[MBZ] 91 350SDL thirsty

2010-09-11 Thread WILTON
Finally found lower radiator hose leaking this morning; 'been suspecting it 
before and looked at it many times during last several days; 'never could catch 
it dripping or wet, etc.  This morning I removed the cowling pan under the 
engine and took the car for a drive; pulled back in the yard and immediately 
crawled under the car to look for leaks; 'could find none.  I got back in the 
car and revved it to 2500 RPM and held it there maybe five minutes; shut it 
down and immediately went under the car again; 'found lower hose (the one 
between bottom of radiator and thermostat and a branch that goes to expansion 
tank) gushing where branch is attached.  Removed and replaced the hose and 
thermostat today (parts rcvd from Rusty yesterday).  'Am now ready for some 
tips on filling and burping the cooling system (just water for coupla days).  
Any tips?

Re: [MBZ] 91 350SDL thirsty

2010-09-11 Thread Peter Frederick
Do you want to drain it completely or just fill with coolant?  If you  
want to drain it, there is a drain fitting on the right side behind  
the engine mount that will drain the block.  You've already got all  
the water out of the radiator, so it's probably a good idea to go  
ahead and drain the block as well.  Put a piece of hose on the  
fitting to keep water from spraying everywhere.


Once it's empty, close the drain fitting and pour coolant into the  
tank until it stops emptying into the engine.  Then squeeze the upper  
radiator hose flat, crimp the small line to the tank from the  
radiator shut, and release the upper hose.  This will pull coolant  
into the head.  Keep cycling, adding coolant as necessary, until it  
wont take any more.  You will only get a gallon or so in by gravity,  
and will add another gallon or so by pumping it.


There is a bleed bolt on the head, but getting it in and out and  
getting it sealed with coolant leaking out is mess, the hose trick  
works just fine.


Then drive it with the heater on full blast -- when the heater core  
stops gurgling, fill the tank back up to the full mark -- I think  
that's the seam midway down on the tank.


If you don't burp it like this, it will overheat for sure since  
it's only gonna have about half the proper amount of coolant in it.

[MBZ] head gasket set

2010-09-11 Thread Kaleb C. Striplin
 What gaskets should be included in the head gasket set for a 
603?  The one I got has head gasket, intake, exhaust, injector 
seals and I believe thats about it.  I figured it would have the 
crossover pipe gasket and perhaps the turbo oil supply and return 
seals.

Re: [MBZ] head gasket set

2010-09-11 Thread Peter Frederick
There is no oil supply line gasket, it's a standard flare fitting in  
the block.  I don't remember a turbo line gasket, nor the o-ring  
seals for the return line.


You should have the intake gasket set though -- intake to head and  
crossover pipe, but not all sets have them.  You won't get the large  
o-ring for the turbo outlet, it's not supposed to have to be replaced  
that often.


I got a set of pre-chamber seals too.

Not that many gaskets for a 603 head, after all.  You do not need to  
remove the turbo from the exhaust, so you won't get those bits.

Re: [MBZ] SF sub

2010-09-11 Thread LWB250
There is a great sub (USS Blueback) at the Portland, OR science museum. The 
last diesel/electric sub to be in the fleet.  One of my customers in the area 
served on it, and I talked him into going on the tour with me one evening.  He 
ended up taking over for the docent and made the tour really awesome.

I've known three different submariners, and they were all whack jobs.  I am 
convinced that anyone who can serve on on of these things has got to be psycho.

2010-09-11 Thread LWB250
I lived about six blocks from there when I was working in SFO.  I'm wondering 
if the blast was more noticeable than the 5.0 quake I went through there.

  What gaskets should be included in the head gasket set for a 603?  The one
 I got has head gasket, intake, exhaust, injector seals and I believe thats
 about it.  I figured it would have the crossover pipe gasket and perhaps the
 turbo oil supply and return seals.

Re: [MBZ] 91 350SDL thirsty

2010-09-11 Thread OK Don
I loosen the top radiator hose from the radiator, and fill it till it won't
take any more after the coolant tank - it's slow to fill, but seems to get
most of the coolant into the head.

 Do you want to drain it completely or just fill with coolant?  If you  want
 to drain it, there is a drain fitting on the right side behind  the engine
 mount that will drain the block.  You've already got all  the water out of
 the radiator, so it's probably a good idea to go  ahead and drain the block
 as well.  Put a piece of hose on the  fitting to keep water from spraying
 everywhere.

 Once it's empty, close the drain fitting and pour coolant into the  tank
 until it stops emptying into the engine.  Then squeeze the upper  radiator
 hose flat, crimp the small line to the tank from the  radiator shut, and
 release the upper hose.  This will pull coolant  into the head.  Keep
 cycling, adding coolant as necessary, until it  wont take any more.  You
 will only get a gallon or so in by gravity,  and will add another gallon or
 so by pumping it.

 There is a bleed bolt on the head, but getting it in and out and  getting
 it sealed with coolant leaking out is mess, the hose trick  works just fine.

 Then drive it with the heater on full blast -- when the heater core  stops
 gurgling, fill the tank back up to the full mark -- I think  that's the seam
 midway down on the tank.

 If you don't burp it like this, it will overheat for sure since  it's
 only gonna have about half the proper amount of coolant in it.

[MBZ] ChowdahQ 2010: Huge success!

2010-09-11 Thread toms cat1

Congratulations to Dwight/ Karen and Curt /Angie (and Buster) nad Fred for 
their efforts which enabled The ChowdahQ 2010  to be a great success!  The 
hosts were charming and gracious, the food was great, and the atmosphere was a 
lot of fun.  Not a discouraging word was heard.  Great chowdah, great burgers, 
great salad.  Personally, the moose sausage was a first for me.  You heard that 
right:  moose sausage!!  Great stuff!   :)  Even the bribes to get a prize were 
reasonably priced!  Can't beat that!  ;)
Kudos also to Burt and Lorraine (God, that is a beautiful car you have!) for 
their work on the Judging, etc.  Whoever was in charge of the weather, btw, 
gets a salary raise for next year.  Outstanding job by all!   Speaking for 
myself, I had a great time and I look forward to next year.

As you may recall, the engine seized about a month before Curt's did. I'd
like to have someone who can use its 99% rust free carcass to come and
take
it. I currently have all my W123 stuff in the back seat too.
I'd like to get $200in return mostly for the relatively new Michelins
that are on it.

If anyone is interested, I can send more details. I really don't want to
send it to the bone yard...yet.

Even simpler than a 240D,   But the 240D is much nicer for 500 to
