Good luck. You should have no problems. The only problem I had was getting the oil return line aligned. That's why I say to mark the sections before you take it apart. Another small problem I had was I could not get one of screws out. I took it to my friend who has a machine shop,and he heated it with a torch and it came right out.
You may want to clean the rusty screws and reuse them.I did mine. Soak them in a strong solution of citric acid overnite. Citric acid is lemon juice and will not harm your skin. You can get citric acid at your Super Market. Look in the Home Canning Section. Yes, it is the same citric acid your Mercedes dealer sells for flushing cooling systems.Same stuff.
