block... there will always be sufficient flow through the block. The
thermostat determines how much water flows through the radiator vs the
bypass... water always flows through the engine block.

Use Rotella T 15w40 diesel or another diesel-grade oil that will suspend the
nasties and sludge and get it out of the engine. You could also put in a litre
of Rislone to clear up the sludge.

Good news about the transmission, it was low on fluid! It seems to be

When I was driving Hammie the '83 240D and it was leaking a lot of oil I used
Car Quest brand 15w40 because it was the absolute cheapest oil I could get.
I'd say use something like that and change it a couple times at 1000-1500 mile
increments. As always drive it HARD to break up carbon and
I need to do the one in my '78 240D but that car is hard on the aluminum
washer. I'm hoping it doesn't leak after this but it probably will. I've got
some buna-n sheet that I'm going to try cutting a washer out of to see if I can
come up with an acceptable replacement since the original is NLA.
The starting capacitor looks blown up (swelled on the top)...
Cap is the most probable cause but also check the relay (contactor) contacts
for bugs and dirt.

Not burned, just used. Like M1 after 6k miles in a 220D. No water in the oil,
not whipped up or foamy, no excessive gritty feel to it when rubbed between
