1982 300D.

Well, again, coming near to end, my luck tanked.

I was tightening down the last rocker arm bolt (previous four to 28 foot-lbs, no problem), when it broke with the thread part in the head.

Can someone rescue me here. I don't know who's karma I messed with, but all I did was tighten the bolts to the correct torque and one managed to break on me.

I take it I can only have it towed now. Is this going to require a new head? Does someone want to make some money on the side quick?

Boneheaddoctor, can you spare some mercy on a neighbor?

If no one can help, does anyone have an estimate on this repair? Is it illegal to sell my body to science to raise the funds?

Pete.

P.S. I was so looking forward to finally adjusting the valves and closing it up to see what she sounds like.
