You will have to ask Daimler that. They are VERY expensive for engine

The engineering world seems to think the problem was inadequate rod

engine in spite of the higher horsepower and piston weight, and they

That's cheaper than what I remember from when I bought my 300d (with

I figured replacing the one was safer since I had no idea how to go
about rebalancing the offset weight on the crankshaft to accommodate
the heaver rod. Having one of them off balance is better than six,
right?
