I picked up a 99 e300 "parts" car I'm having second thoughts on using for parts. it has 428k and a dead misfire on the 5th cylinder. I can hear compression leaking from the injector hole it's a distinct tiss tiss. it ran fine, started missing and some shop said it had a bad IP.
I've not jumped into it yet, but I was curious if these engines were sleeved or not. if the cylinder is completely dead I'd throw a piston in it and a sleeve amd call it a day
