Anyone have any experience with the 124 Coupe. It's a 1992. Does that

As I understand it, the problems areas with the 104 engines (3.0 or 3.2)
are head gaskets. Is that correct? Is the head gasket problem a matter
of when not if? When it fails does it leak oil externally or does it
leak coolant into the block. Are these the only major problems with the
92 124.
That is why you see 2 different engine numbers for the 104.

Fellow listers,
I have a client with a '76 450sl. In an attempt to improve performance
a bit, we are considering installing the tri-Y headers and downpipes
from a 500slc and fabricating a custom exhaust (or modified 500slc
exhaust) for the remainder. Both are m117 motors and as such I believe
It seems like that woulc be a great idea, except for the gell point of
animal fats being higher than that of plant based fats. Lard, chicken fat,
and tallow are all solid at room temperature and higher. Ghee which is
basicly clarified butter, is also solid at room temperature. Olive oil,
or you could have inline or in-tank heating elements to keep the stuff
liquid. One solution is easier than the other.

If they only add 0.0001% alternative fuel sources to the existing
production, they will reap 100's of millions in biofuel tax credits
without affecting fuel quality. With a little creative chemistry the
biofuel additives will not even appear in road fuel. It will all end
up in asphalt.

Kansas City experimented some years back with BioD made from beef fat in its
bus fleet and it was successful...don't know any details...I am sure it was a
blend of some sort.
For a city known for Bar-b-q, I think it's an ingenious marketing ploy to fill
the city with the smell of beef and
Anyone happen to know what the daily consumption of diesel fuel (in

Hi Randy,
Just a quick question. Have you had any problems bringing stuff over the
border, with regards to customs, brokers fees, etc., other than just paying
the GST? I'd like to give Rusty some business as I understand he helps keep
the site going. Like you, I want to put a little list
Hello Ed
No problem at all. Rusty sends by US Postal Service and the Post Office here
delivers it to me. If I recall
corretly, I have not even been dinged for the $5 fee on it. They just dropped
the box off. Worst case scenario
should be the taxes and $5 fee at the post office.
Now, if you use
for what its worth, i am parting out a 76 300D. Not much for sheet
metal, but lots of little goodies if you need anything. Has a dark
tan interior. Not so dark as the Tobacco color.

They said it was not a very large fraction of daily or annual usage, but
it was dealing with a product that was in good supply for faily cheap,
and displacing food crops.
Also, tax credits were a substantial element of the cost-effectiveness
of the whole deal. I have sorta mixed feelings
