What model car / engine? If an OM60X, I sure hope this doesn't mean the front 
timing case is damaged. That's a pretzel involved repair if it needs to be 
removed and replaced.

If the damage is limited enough, yes, that is a possibility I think. Didn't

Time-serts are a better option.
This kit is for example only. I am not certain of the correct size needed.

When I tried to replace spark plugs on my W108 280SE the threads in the
aluminum block got stripped so I needed a tech needed to insert a
helicoil.  I held my breath but it worked fine.

Helicoils have been an accepted fix for stripped spark plug threads for 
decades. Tried and true, they do the job well and are quite robust.

Re: [MBZ] I think the tensioner on the AZ bob car might have let loose again

[OK Don via Mercedes]

I'm not sure they are better - depends on your requirements I guess. I
doubt that the solid barrel that screws into the aluminum case is better
than the wire threads of a heliciol. I read on a motorcycle forum that they
both use the same size tap for a given bolt, so the time-sert has to have
thinner threads?

Some aircraft aluminum parts come new with helicoils installed --- been

Re: [MBZ] I think the tensioner on the AZ bob car might have let loose again

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

prob'ly, but its a relatively shallow blind hole  About Dx1.   Helicoul 
needs at least Dx2 but Dx3+ is better.   Or you could bore through, then 
try to make an oil proof seal with the bolt.  THat is do-able, but I'd 
want the timing cover off to do that.

Cheap/non diesel oil would be my bet.
Alternatively "threw a rod" = engine doesn't run, I don't know what's wrong

Clearly not a Binz or Universal conversion. Looks like a Bubba conversion. 
Those sides appear to be plywood.

Vista Dome!    Riding through colorado and the calif mountains in the 
Vista Dome of the California Zephyr was a great experience.   Repeated 
it in 1988 when we moved to Hawaii, but that was not along the Feather 
River Valley, but on the modern Amtrack route.   Not as spectacular, no 
vista dome, but still memorable.

I really despise facebook marketplace.. People post things for sale and
there is no way to contact them directly to set up a buy of their item. The
post and forget, never respond to your "facebook reply that you want to
inspect and buy".. then if they do make contact with you it is obliquely to
post the item is sold and the sale is taken down.. if you can find that in
the facebook mess. Nothing is intuitive or direct.
I hear facebook is going broke... couldn't be soon enough. Can I sue for
reparations for money and time lost because of their gross mismanagement?
Ohh... almost forgot... if I look at something, suddenly, I get 100 +
emails trying to sell me like products.. or not so like.. unsolicited, so
facebook is mining my personal information for sale..

Of course.  That's what Facebook _is_!

It's like modern cars: A modern car is a video game that, if you win,
rewards you with transportation to your intended destination.

Facebook (et al.) is a marketing platform that rewards you with the
contact you desire, if you win.  But never forget its primary purpose:
selling _you_ to the highest bidder.

1.) Do you have a death wish driving this on I-95?

2.) Can you even fit in it? I always wondered how claustrophobic you had to be

[MBZ] I think this was posted before but appears not to have sold -- 1988 Mercedes-Benz 300 ce Coupe 2D, $2, 500

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Looks pretty nice and the price for a 124 coupé is quite good.  
White/gray kinda bland but looks to be in good condition.  The grill 
looks to be chinee ebay thing and is horrific but easily rectifiable.

Rode hard and put up wet but fixable.  I'm not sure what wire would go 
bad for the rear suspension, I think it is all mechanical/hydraulical.  
Could be a good deal with some shrewd negotiating if you wanted a wagon.

[MBZ] I think there’s a fix in the transmission control plate, but I don’t have the time or care to figure that out. 2007 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML 500 Sport Utility 4D,$3,500

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Then your vehicle is worth $1500 max


   Seller's Description

Starts and runs in 2nd gear… so it’ll drive a max of 25mph or so. The 
transmission is locked in 2nd gear. I was able to reset it a few times 
in the past with my OB2 computer…. But it’s not resetting anymore. I 
think there’s a fix in the transmission control plate, but I don’t have 
the time or care to figure that out. Clean title in hand.
