diametricalbenz - yes my engine does run it just has quite a little rod knock. It needs rebuilt. I was hoping to find an engine I could throw in and get me moving. I was hoping for one that does not burn tons of oil though. I don't mind an engine that burns a little or leaks a little though. If I was closer to you I would probably give that motor a shot. Does it run good enough to to be reliable? I really want to get this old 240d up and running. Thanks for your generosity. Chris
