I still don't buy the carbon theory. The original rods were too weak. Period. The way the intake is designed, if it were EGR related, I'd expect cylinder #2 to be the frequent bender, not 1 or 6. And definitely not 6, ever. The fact that 6 bends before 2,3,4, or 5 kind of rules out the timing cavity gasket blowout theory too.
Maybe we should just accept that fact that the original 3.5's are flawed, take a lot of money to fix, but once it's fixed properly it's cured? And stop trying to overanalyze why it happens? Just a thought.

We get 20 miles to the gallon of gas and be happy and most don't be driving a car half this nice. So 200 miles per quart of oil and
IMPROVING (at this point) is tolerable. What am I to do? Throw the car away? Some people on this site say you can even make your own fuel for these kind of cars.

Maybe we all should go out and buy brand new Mercedes Benz cars and solve the problem altogether. Once the warranty expires, we can then get us another brand new Mercedes.
