Your engine will loose about 50 hp. It will feel like a real slug, but it'll get you home & it won't hurt the engine to run it that way. Did you try to find a MB dealer in KC? They may have the bolt. (See post #92 for P/N's) Won't cost that much and it will make the rest of the trip easier to bear.
