Additives are typically stored and mixed in at the Distribution Terminal.

Good article.
Interesting note - back when I worked in the industry, the terminal
was allotted a 500 gallon per day allowance per tank for fuel losses
due to evaporation.

ing. The #1 rod is
0.36mmshorter than the new one. It is also slightly bent to the side
and ever so
slightly twisted. The opening for the bottom bearing has enlarged
0.07mmhorizontally and
0.02mm vertically.

Oops, my bad.
Even if the bolts are in spec, I'm tossing them. I suppose I could use the 2
that were originally on the #1 rod, but that's probably bad karma or
something.
Thanks much for the correction Marshall.

gs. It's spent
more time in the shop than in his driveway.
No wonder their brand in on the decline in the US.
I would not say replacing all the rods is "cheap". Dealer price on a set
with upper and lower bearings is > $1400.
Thanks

Unfortunately I did not find this list until long after I had purchased the
car. I appreciate everyone's help and patience.

The engine included the block and cylinder head assembled, right? Were
prechambers and injectors included?
Did you have to return your engine to them?
Thanks

They come with all sorts of boxes on top. Snow blowers, ambulances, Tow

Kinda like Tonka-Trucks for grownups.

I can only find 4-matics with gas engines in the charts. I'd love to get a
Diesel 4-matic. Do you know what years they produced them - or is this
something we missed out on in the US?

I'm continuing to reassemble my S350 engine (603.971), and have noticed that
3 of the Valve Tappets have no springeyness in the underside rod that
contacts the valve stem. All the others do. Is this an indication that they
need replaced?
Thanks
