Re: [diesel_mercedes] Is anyone online right now???

 

Oh NO, Kevin is DONE working on this car...for the big stuff.  He tinkered under the hood before I left camp tonight.  Plugged in a vacuum hose that was loose.  He'll do the brakes when I get them.  He'll put on the belt for the a/c when I get that.

I check the oil EVERY time I drive it, no matter how far.  OK, I didn't when I drove down the driveway the other day..I had to drive through the front pasture to the water meter to get the reading and I didn't want to walk through the tall grass...snakes ya know.

Trish, you're pushing luck.

I'm pretty sure the previous owner ran low on oil. It will be okay until you accelerate, stop, or go up or down a hill

The oil will move forwards or back, leaving the front or back lower rod bearings dry. You will spin the bearings, tearing them out and slapping the lower rod/caps on the crankshaft. Your new engine will sound like your old one.... Until the rod goes thru the block

If I was Kevin, I wouldn't swap the engine again.

Keep checking the oil every time.

Got an emergency oil question on my MB.  I put the last 2 qts of oil in, nothing showing on dip stick, but pressure gauge was fine. Town is 10 miles...I have a 2nd job interview later today that I really, really need to get to. 

I know in the past I've been told on here that if the gauge shows pressure I'm OK. 

Would YOU drive the ten miles to town?
