Arguably your '91 300D is one of the best, I'd say put your cash into
keeping that car going. I think you can easily get to 500k if you keep up

no sign of quitting. '95 E300 with OM606 is up to about 371k.

Yeah, injectors came out first for just that reason….

Not sure how to answer that to your satisfaction.
Metal Inert Gas [MIG] welders, commonly known as "wire feed welders" have a
spool gun which feeds weld metal wire into the Inert gas envelope at the
gun tip.
The wire is both filler wire and electrode.
Perhaps, you were thinking TIG welder? Tung

Some additional observations:
Insides of manifold and crossover pipe were oily, but there wasn’t much
buildup. I didn’t see a lot of value in taking the time to clean them out. I
recently capped off the vacuum line to the EGR, too, but I don’t see that
affecting the manifold significantly.
