By the way, does your 230SL have the early style hubcaps/wheel rings? I think those make the wheels look much better than the full wheel covers, don't you?

Those are the factory specs for valve lash. I have caps and beauty rings on my car.
Through a system of vintage high performance parts on my car I'm getting around 10 km per liter of fuel. Since I installed the larger 82 liter fuel tank I can easily drive 750 km without a fill up. So, I'm getting around 23 MPG US or about 27 - 28 MPG imperial.
Have you checked out the pagoda group web site?
