I have done that. Some BP station where the gas handles were all green. I

The motor is worth money. Save it. It will drop into any w124 300d, ideally

My opinion is that any steel hard line is less likely to leak than a

Ok thanks. I just made a miscalculation on the diameter difference. The
flare tool is metric. I will get some of that 10mm copper brake line, as
stainless will be harder to flare. Both holset turbos are metric. I have a
3/8" bender but it should work ok despite the 0.02" diameter difference.

The 15" bundt upgrade is the best thing I ever did to my w123. The wider
lower profile tires just transformed the car in curves and improved the

You still have air in there. If it has abs, be sure there is not a bleeder

Any more I am starting to think that messing with cars is sort of silly.
One could spend the same time on an airplane and have something worthwhile
at the end.

Is that the same on the 606? I have never checked.
I am running some type of regular 50 weight in the 617 at the moment and it
stalls just after starting unless I give it some pedal. New behavior! Im
sure there is an idle screw somewhere.
Synthetic is really great for cold starts.

It was apparently smoking and gaining altitude just before it hit, and
making bad noises. There must be some mountains as it took off at 7000'
above sea level. Climbed to 1500 or so agl, then had a few highly erratic
climbs and dives, then climbed again before crashing.

The tire shop uses torque rods on the impact guns but I find they are
routinely innacurate in that they overtighten the bolts. So now I insist
that they use a torque wrench to mount the wheels. No more stuck lug bolts.

Sydney to LA on the a380 qantas run two complete flight crews. One handles
takeoff and landing. The other handles the middle bit. Crew 1 sleeps in the
middle.
For takeoff and landing there is always an extra officer on the flight deck

I think the clutched alternator bearing is probably as important as the

If it is the bimboautomotiv guy, they make great rubber mirror boots for
w124 cars for about 30 bucks a set also.
I thought there was someone stateside who recovers dashboards. Pierre

I am going to replace the idler, tensioner pulley and belt on the 94 e420.
