Thanks to all, I will contact Becker from their web site right after I install the waterpump and related items. Seems the rubber hose from the waterpump to the head had split and that is taking up all of my time.

This site is right, waterpump R&R on a 2.6 motor in a W210 body
(without a FLX-13, thanks Benzmac) is a real pain.
