Last time I did my 126 ball joints I bought TRW ball joints from Hursty (post
Rusty). I can't say if they were good quality.
I also bought one of those "pipe style" tools on eBay to press the new BJ into
the knuckle. The pipe tool costs about $100 (vs $300+ for the MBZ special

So far the only indication is that the plane had altitude problems and hit the
ground at high speed in a dive -- that crater was NOT dug by heavy equipment
and there was no significant post-crash fire, which means the fuel pretty much

None of my 1/5 scale RC 2-stroke gas RC car engines have carbs with tamper
proof screws, just slotted type screws. Of course, the carbs cost half the
price of a cheap weed whacker. As long as I run it dry or clamp the fuel line
shut after a run, they start right up the next time out.

I think Kaleb is right. The need is greater for lighter oils in colder
climates for better lubrication from cold while the engine is warming up
than anything.
I ran the Mobil 15w-50 in my OM 602's and OM603's and did pull samples and
found that 15,000 miles was OK, but I usually changed at 12,000,
So Curt mentioned 15W50 oil a few minutes ago on the list. Just now I

Very strange. I have not been looking at this oil anywhere online.
Coincidence? Who knows. To further this, I have been sitting at home
before and
The engine will run hotter than it gets in AZ so the need to run a heavier oil

One of the bellows kits from Larry makes sampling easy, pull oil up the

15w50 is probably a little better in your climate than 5w40 but only a marginal
difference. I'd probably use whichever is cheaper...

I use Mobil 1 Truck and SUV oil in all my diesels, it's rated for the OM603 and
comes in gallons only.
You need 8 quarts with a filter change.
Make sure you have the correct o-ring for the filter when you change it, any of
the American filters will have the o-ring for the canister for a Ford
In my climate we use Mobil1 15W-50 at 5000 mile intervals. Some would say
that’s too soon, but an oil change is cheap insurance and I don’t mind the
expense. I’m not so hung up on oil that I would bother pulling samples and
messing with a lab.
Since my climate isn’t much different from yours
I went back and started messing with it and found that if I jammed stuff down
in the groove of the windlace frame like it will be when installed that is
tightened up well enough to pull nearly all of the creases. Wetting and drying
will be a last resort - I think it will be OK.
