Even though I'm in a world of hurt right now .
I replaced the turbo on my '84 Coupe to - day , along with bunches of small things , 2 rubber air cleaner supports , the intake boot's rubber seals , now it fits really snugly ,first Mercedes I've had that the intake boot fits really 100 % so $ well spent I think .
I replaced both engine shocks too and now it doesn't rock as much @ idle as it did before , the rubber buffers on each shock end are pretty tired so I'll order up those next .
I sorted out some mis - matched engine hardware as that stuff bugs the heck out of me , turned the IP's rack damper bolt in 2/3 a turn , I hope that also helped the smoother idle .
After all this plus , Tom followed me on the freeway a few miles and the blue exhaust smoke is *gone* so now I know to begin addressing the injectors then I'll see about adjusting the ALDA screw as it still smokes brown , that's excess fuel , not a thing I want .
If it stops covering the cove with Diesel Smoot , I'll begin working to - wards that paint job it needs so badly .
To - morrow , a day off , no works , just a ports Car Rally in Malibu , I will be driving my Metropolitan Nash Fixed Head Sports Coupe .
