Re: [diesel_mercedes] Another Diesel Mercedes Christmas Song
[diesel_mercedes] Another Diesel Mercedes Christmas Song
Jingle bells, Diesel smells, vacuum sprung a leak,
Oh what fun it is to ride in an old 240D, HEE!!
Jingle Bells, Diesel smells, Vacuum sprung a leak,
Oh what fun it is to ride in an old 240D.
Sliding through the snow,
In my old 240D,
Over the streets we go,
people pass with ease.
My seat belt buzzer rings,
But I know we're buckled tight,
If I get through this Christmas snow storm, We'll make it home tonight!
Oh!
Jingle Bells, Diesel smells, vacuum sprung a leak,
Oh what fun it is to ride in this old 240D, Hee!
Jingle bells, diesel smells, vacuum pump is weak,
Oh what fun it is to ride in this old 240D.
On and on we go,
In My old 240D,
What's that in the road,
Up ahead I see?
Piled up behind a truck,
Were all those passing cars,
As I crept by in the leftt hand lane, I thanked my lucky STAR!!
Oh!
Jingle Bells, Diesel smells, driving is a breeze,
Oh what fun it is to ride in this old 240D, HEE!
Jingle bells, Diesel smells, Oh what's that noise I hear,
We've finally made it home now, so let's go have a beer!

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Window seals for '85 300TD wagon
Alan,
Let me check with him tomorrow and I will see when/if he wants to paint it. He talked about selling it a month or so ago so I need to check. I will respond tomorrow PM if that is OK?

Any interest in the OEM 300TD seal kit for $325. It would make a great Christmas gift for your brother.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Compression testing?
I used the cheapo Harbor Feight Diesel Compression Tester , they had a more expen$ive one that listed Mercedes but as long as you have the correct threads (10 or 12 MM IIRC) you're good to go .
I'd adjust the valves first as they're _always_ tight and tight valves make for lower compression when the engine is otherwise in good shaPE .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re : Small Diesel
Thought you guys would enjoy this:
If you don't love this one, you have not the soul of a true gear head. OPERATIONAL V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND. This is not CNC technology; this guy made everything at home on his lathe and drill press. Took 1220 hours (a year and a half?) to make the 261 pieces. Note the end-loaded crankshaft into the block (like an Offy), 12 individual cylinder heads, TINY rods and pistons, dual "under head" cams with pushrods to rockers in the heads. And, he did break-in using an electric drill driving the crankshaft! Even if you're not an engineer, you'll love this! http://www.wimp.com/tiniestengine/
