Re: [MBZ] SF sub
Nerves of steel, nerves of steel. I kept thinking of all the submariners in ww2 who sat under depth charges, just waiting to die. For those who have not seen it, Das Boot is a good U boat movie that conveys some of the terror of serving on these things. Hendrik who is proud of those willing to serve in all branches of military service, including Wilton, even though he didn't lay down the law to the missus, either getting soft in old age or on a promise LWB250 wrote: 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.

[MBZ] W123 valve adjustment leads to vacuum door leaks? ? Or is it a coincidence?
I finally adjusted the valves on the 1985 300TD, with the help of my very skilled neighbor, also a Benz nut. It was a bit of a struggle removing the valve cover, and when everything was back in place the door locks no longer held vacuum for more than a couple hrs. (vs. a couple weeks before the engine work). I carefully went over all the lines under the hood and replaced a couple short connectors that had worn out, and even plugged in a line that had come off, but this made no difference.

Re: [MBZ] W123 valve adjustment leads to vacuum door leaks? ? Or is ita coincidence?
The vacuum distribution for the central locking system on a 123 is under the passenger side carpet, I believe. Yellow with a red tracer is lock, yellow with a green tracer is unlock. You might have disturbed the line to the vacuum reservoir, which is in the driver's side fender on this car. There is a check valve at the reservoir, if my memory serves me correctly. If this is leaking or failed you'll leak down in a relatively short time.

Re: [MBZ] SF sub
I meant no disrespect when I spoke about the three submariners that I know. Anyone who can live in a metal cylinder for that length of time has got a special place for them in you know where. Interesting observation on your part - one of the people I know was an enlisted man, and he is very competent with his skills and analytical abilities. A nice guy, too. The other two I know are both officers, and they exhibit some pretty interesting personality traits when under pressure. One of them lashes out at subordinates and is pretty irrational - this was not uncommon behavior for him, and the reason why I left a job where he was my superior. A real Jekyll Hyde sort of guy. It also resulted in him being terminated from the position he held when he was my superior. When I chose to leave I reported his behaviors to the business owners, as they were totally unaware of this. They made some inquiries of his other direct reports along with observing him, and within a few months he was gone. The other former officer is a good guy, but has some interesting personality quirks. In fairness to him, he could have been this way long before he went to New London.

Re: [MBZ] W123 valve adjustment leads to vacuum door leaks? ? Or is it a coincidence?
Any rubber vacuum line, hard line, or connector is suspect on a car that old. Especially in the heat of the engine compartment, they get brittle with age. You likely bumped one and caused a hairline crack. Might be worth replacing all the rubber and connectors at least (if you do, replace ONE section at a time, do not remove all the old and then try to remember what was connected to what).

Fast leakdown of the locking system will be either the check valve, the lines in the engine compartment going to the interior or the vac tank under the fender.

Re: [MBZ] SF sub
The customer I knew who served on the Blueback told some pretty nasty stories about his service. On the last diesel-electric sub, despite being state of the art, so to speak, it was pretty unpleasant. He talked about everything in the boat reeking of diesel fuel, and the noise and heat from the engines being bad enough that the lucky ones were the guys who were stationed in the forward torpedo room, as it was the quietest and coolest place on the boat. He said it was not uncommon to find guys bunking up front wherever they could, even sleeping on the torpedoes. He also talked about how, when they provisioned and were leaving on a tour, literally every place on the boat was stuffed with food and other provisions. The walkways up and down the boat would have cases of canned goods stacked 2-3 high, reducing the headroom significantly, and even the showers would be packed with things like fresh produce, leaving them unusable until the provision were used up or relocated to another area. I learned the term hot bunking from him. It refers to the situation where there was only one bunk/rack per 2-3 submariners, meaning that when you were ready to turn in, your bunk would still be warm from the guy who just mustered out. I also learned what a Navy shower was, too. Ugh. It sounded pretty awful to me.

Re: [MBZ] W123 valve adjustment leads to vacuum door leaks? ? Or is it a coincidence?
That's part of the kickdown system, if I recall, and if you remove the cover you'll see some vacuum valves with little white plastic levers that operate them. These are usually toast after a number of years, and i many cases are completely non-functional due to being worn out. Rusty can get you a new set, which takes all of about 5 minutes to replace. Once of those cheap fixes that yields nice results.

[MBZ] 2010 ChowdaQ a smashing success!
This year's ChowdaQ blew all expectations, 10 MB's (2 of other marques) with 15 people. We even had 3 previous unknowns from the PeachParts gang. We had our wides variety of chow yet, Dwight started us off with A1 Chowda, Fred brought the greens and I cooked up a variety of meats including terriaki beef skewers, chicken kabobs, burgers, hot dogs and spicy moose sausage (no joke!) Tom rounded out the day with fresh espresso to settle our stomachs. Awards we given for jalopys, not so jalopys, story telling expertise and cooking expertise (that might be a stretch) complete with impressive trophys Burt provided. Door prizes included a polo shirt donated by Rusty, a copy of The Star and the Laurel from Dwight and a new in box MB hood star from Fred. Several test drives were taken and comparisons made to cars current and past and a fine time was had by all.

Re: [MBZ] SF sub
Yeah I forgot to mention that the Pampanito still has that smell, which adds to the experience. Hendrik who also sometimes smells of Diesel, the manly perfume LWB250 wrote: The customer I knew who served on the Blueback told some pretty nasty stories about his service. On the last diesel-electric sub, despite being state of the art, so to speak, it was pretty unpleasant. He talked about everything in the boat reeking of diesel fuel, and the noise and heat from the engines being bad enough that the lucky ones were the guys who were stationed in the forward torpedo room, as it was the quietest and coolest place on the boat. He said it was not uncommon to find guys bunking up front wherever they could, even sleeping on the torpedoes. He also talked about how, when they provisioned and were leaving on a tour, literally every place on the boat was stuffed with food and other provisions. The walkways up and down the boat would have cases of canned goods stacked 2-3 high, reducing the headroom significantly, and even the showers would be packed with things like fresh produce, leaving them unusable until the provision were used up or relocated to another area. I learned the term hot bunking from him. It refers to the situation where there was only one bunk/rack per 2-3 submariners, meaning that when you were ready to turn in, your bunk would still be warm from the guy who just mustered out. I also learned what a Navy shower was, too. Ugh. It sounded pretty awful to me.
