well i just finished my first valve adjustment in my 240D and wow what a difference. the car is so quiet and smooth at idle i almost think its not running while i was at it today i changed the oil to the rotella synthetic... i still have the tranny fluid, rear diff fluid and both fuel filters to change then i would drive the car anywhere

lol... a 240d so quiet you dont know its running... lol.. maybie the racket under the hood gives it away?

1981 240d (engine donor 1983 240d) recently rebuilt engine hurray! - No more.. fought a tree and the tree won.

pearl black 1983 240d 4speed (Converted!@$$%) atleast the tranny was rebuilt.

ok so maybe that was a bit of an over statement but you get the idea

Awesome! Valve adjustments are one of those nice instant gratification jobs... and it doesn't cost any money!

You ever get your glow plugs working?

no its still on the list... i did determine that none of them are working and the car still starts up just fine... I'm assuming that is a sign of excellent compression
