RE: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Today's project...

 

That’s the exact process I’m doing now Barton.  Here’s the entire thing disassembled, soaked in biodiesel for a couple of days and cleaned with various brushes, scrubbies, etc.  http://picasaweb.google.com/116318077355015592300/BiodieselTurboSoak#  Instead of watching our fearless leader, I cracked a Corona and scrubbed the grime off I knew I could take care of myself.  Washington types…there’s no hope.

replying to my own post - I just watched Kent's video on diagnosing and rebuilding. What an awesome resource.....I guess the 80's version of RTFM has now become WTFV. :^)
