Re: [MBZ] RE OT: The World Has Plenty of Oil

It is in california, but my insurance guy also has a fleet, so he's quite understanding and willing to play games with rolling things around as needed. The problem is the government, who doesn't follow its own procedures that it documented and gives out at the DMV. Mailing the form doesn't always

Re: [MBZ] OT, Toyota problem

It is worth pointing out that that particular v6 isn't exactly known for reliability or ease of maintenance, and that overheating it is generally an expensive proposition. Any chance something got hooked up backwards? On Tue, Mar 04, 2008 at 11:02:14AM -0600, Harry Watkins wrote: Let me add

Somebody needs to buy this and swap the motor into a 240Z. Didn't the guy who wrote From The Fryer To The Fuel Tank do that? A 240DZ, 260DZ or 280DZ would be nice. I wonder how that engine would hold up to a 617 or 603? Kevin in Hillsboro, OR 1983 300SD 267Kmi, Ursula
