Thanks Rob...
I've been a lot of talk and no action lately ;) but I just made a date with my buddy the wagon owner (who is re-enthused after an oil change and new pre-filter seemed to solve the cold-start probs). We'll do a purge for him, and he'll be my 2nd set of hands for my valve adjustment. And I was definitely planning on using that method to turn the engine...

Stay tuned - I am discussing a "special code for reduced prices" for shock absorbers for this group from the good folks Nate just just did business with. Will post when (if) it happens.

I adjusted the valves on my MB this weekend, and only found one exhuast
valve tight, last time they all were tight. When turning the engine via
the power steering pump, I found the belt was a bit loose, and had to
tighten up the belt to make it work. As someone on the list was planning
on doing this job for the 1st time, I'll mention the process. To tighten
the power steering belt, you loosen the bolt on the back of the pump,
then adjust the bolt on top, then tighten the rear bolt again.
