You won't have to replace your sparkplugs, EVER, if you inverse-phase the quantum flux in the ion-induction chamber every 25000 miles. This simple proceedure takes only a few nanoseconds, when you use the MB-approved, hand-held Phosogenic De-Moleculizing Magnatronic Destabilizer, model 2300.

Doesn't anyone read their owner's manuals?

Yessir! I believe that to be correct!

Regarding changing the spark plugs on the 603 since they have never been done you likely have a bad rattling noise when its running? Well that sir is "bent compression" Happens all the time. You need to remove the cylinder head, turn it around 180* and torque the newb bolts, then turn it 180* again, spray it down liberally with WD40 and reinstall. Will be good as new. RT

If you run 93 octane diesel and maintain the O2 mixture at 17 ppm the plugs should go 341234 miles exactly.

I know this is a diesel thread but, when should you change the glow plugs in a 300e?

Ah, just a generic oil cap for the car?

The joke was a real estate one, I have been looking at hotel financials all day so I construed the 710 Cap as capitalization rate! That would be super investment deal.

I've checked everywhere around here, can anybody find a place to order me some glass welding rods? I've got a rock crack in my windshield and it's slowly expanding... just need to weld it back together.

I've heard rumors that Jiffy Lub fails to use the proper 710 exhaust torque.

Jiffy Lube never torques anything to spec! Last time I was there they over-torqued my exhaust hangers and the damned things stripped out!

***OMG*** have you guys ever changed out your dilithium crystals? Did you get a receipt from the PO stating if they had it done?!?

Do it before it's too late... they're VERY dirty after 20-30 years of neglect.

Watch out, though-- if you don't realign them with the approved spreader-bar-- you'll have one HELL of a time getting your Trans-Warp field set correctly!

Really Hattie, I think Edelbrock is a better carb for a 603....... For a 617 I recommend dual four-barrel Holley's though because of it's higher flow numbers!

Oh, and yes, definitely change the brake rotor grease too. Don't want them brakes to seize in this icy weather (this is for your SD )
