Have my eye on a couple 350SDs....what's the deal with them?
Friends,
I own an 1982 300D in fine condition. My wife and I have enjoyed the ride in a few early 1990's 350SDs. But I've heard a few horror stories about the connecting rods in the engines. Any opinions? Horror stories? Or the converse....'don't worry, it's overblown' stories?

2x. Don't buy a 350 without knowing the pitfalls, and how to tell a good one from a bad one.
