They did get something in there at some point but they did not have the

they couldn't deal with that but that was the issue.

reverse the procedure
be careful

It should be in the 123 manual or the OM616/617 manual. It is good
to read, but not always very clear. too much detail/steps about some
things and not enough about others. That means it is a typical
manual.

Mine says 0.125oz for stability treatment per 20gal, 0.25oz for shock. Add
when tank is half full, then fill the remainder of tank with diesel. Label
warns oversaturation might yield solids, so I skip a tank between uses -
probably overkill on my part though.

A leveler between the hoist and the engine makes it a LOT easier when you
pull the engine and tranny together. Yo don't need to lift it higher, and
inserting it back in the re0installation phase is also made easier. I think
mine was around $40 at the equivalent of Harbor Freight - money well
I had a leveler. Basically I could not get the engine tipped enough for
the front to clear the crossmember at the front of the engine bay before
the valve cover hit the firewall. I finally SQUEEZED it out by removing
the valve cover, that gave me a few more inches. You really have to get

yes, FAR easier.

If you separate it you are doing it the hard way. The use of a

year, lots of the interior was broken/worn out/gone.
