[diesel_mercedes] Re: BAD ~ _VERY_ BAD

 

If you have glow plugs do not use ether, it can go bang at the wrong time and smash piston, break head, etc.

It had lots of blowby and burned lots of oil. The car was my fun non-running project on which I learned to adjust valves. It was towed in, but drove out under it's own power!

[diesel_mercedes] Steam Clean

 

I am so excited. I had my bottom washed today. Actually, it was Mary's bottom and they called it a Chassis Wash. But, it really was just a steam cleaning at the car wash at San Gabriel Blvd. and Mission Ave. If my car ever tips over on the freeway (saw one this morning), I will not have to be embarrassed because I can see original metal again. Clean enough to eat on. Well, of course it was steam cleaned so I can crawl under the car and push, pull, wiggle, and move parts to see what needs fixing.

BTW, that happened after I stopped at the Monrovia PAP and saw two pretty nice yellow w116's (one gas, one diesel)- the exteriors were nice (fenders, doors, hoods, all that stuff). Typical w126's, no w123's, no TD's, and a nice 220 not yet out in the yard.

 One more thing, I did remove the plastic ring from an oil container that the PO managed to drop in on top of the head.

[diesel_mercedes] Garage Queen 240D Update

 

Couldn’t wait for the new valve cover gasket to come in, so adjusted the valves yesterday on my venerable 79 240D.  Most of the valves did have too much gap, but alas the end result was the same – some chugging, but no starting.  I will try to get to the supply house tonight to pick up a compression tester.   One thing that was different – absolutely no smoke from the exhaust during the three starting attempts.  Could this indicate that fuel isn’t getting through the injectors?   I did previously verify that fuel was getting to them.  One more thing, I did remove the plastic ring from an oil container that the PO managed to drop in on top of the head.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Question : Fungicide

 

That is good to have a hands on test with pictures too. I may just start putting the stuff in my Cheerios.

I'm sure it kills off the fungus just fine ,pretty much all fungus killers work well ~ the problem is : where does the dead fungus go ? .

So far , only Startron by Starbright both claims _and_ has a proven track record of actually breaking the dead fungus down far enough for it to pass through your fuel system and out the exhaust , no tank cleaning necessary .

I still don't have any fungus problems any more , you may recall I had 1/2" of dead glop in my fuel tank and everywhere else in the system , so bad the car lurched to a halt in traffic a few times but Startron fixed it while I drove...
