Re: [diesel_mercedes] Dammit

 

what year is your caddy? My father had a 1970 with a huge engine... a sorts of smog pipes everywhere...I was getting rid o his effects recently and found the original 8-track tape that  came with the car. It still works; I converted it to mp3.

could it be the valve guide bushings in the head of your rebuilt were not replaced?

I began working early this morning before the sun came up and Tom came over to get the Hearse smogged , after a fun day of sweating and working , I replaced my turbo and air cleaner "T" bracket and adjusted the valves on;y to discover the damned thing still trails blue smoke .

I have replaced _FIVE_ air cleaner "T" brackets now , I'm not buying any more new ones ! this last was a re pop and the crappy spot welds simply let go ~ I considered having it welded until I noticed the 8MM hole on that lower leg , the really hard to reach one , was stress cracked too so out it went to scrap .

Now , I have to fix my injector pop tester and test all my injectors then check the timing of the injection pump , fiddle with or replace the rack damper bolt as it's a silver (old design) one , if still no joy I'll try an M Code IP and if the sonofa b*tch still trails blue smoke after that I'll go kill the guy who rebuilt my engine....

Did I mention how hot it was to-day ? . =8-)

BTW : The Caddy runs great but the AC is still dead in it .
