Mal-Asian engines
Nachi -
I'm intrigued by your engines out there in Kuala Lampur...always fascinated by the myriad 4's and 6's that populated the 60's-70's...
You mention your W115/M115 - is that a 2.0 or a 2.2L gasser engine?
And what cars was the "M102 2.3 engine" carried in?, what years?
How is it different from the 127's and 180's?
Concur on single-row chains, and put M130 twin-chain gear into the front of my M114 when I rebuilt it, in an attempt to guard against catastrophic failure...
As for MB-Tex, the moisture- and UV- resistance is phenomenal. Pretty good plastics those Germans made - just look at the longevity of the hard vacuum lines and their connectors in old 114's and 123's, even the diaphragms in the actuators - considering how many cycles they survive, and how thin the membrane is...
My darling daughter does, however, have an issue with her 280CE's MB-Tex in summer, in Richmond, Virginia - having nothing whatsoever to do with the unhappy confluence of black MB-Tex and short shorts, of course...
