Reading my e-mail again:
"Also the valve guides and seals in the engine had problems, again not too expensive to fix since the head does not have to come off."
The seals can be replaced without taking the head off. The head has to come off for the valve guides. Good thing there are a lot of eyes looking at the postings.
By the way... what is a 193 engine? I am sure Mercedes would like to know.
