I'm going to learn how to do my first valve adjustment on it, then do the same on the 85. I just need to find a reasonable place to get the needed wrenches. Going to also pour about a cup of MO in each cylinder and let it sit for a week, see if that help my blow by issue any. |

It has a cylinder at 220 and another at 240. It runs great - ABOVE about 40-45 degrees Bet you you can't start that car below freezing without the block heated.

I cracked the injector lines open to at least identify the dead cylinder. #3 is the culprit. If I plug the breather, oil pours out of the dipstick tube. So, now I am actively seeking a transplant.its official, WTB 617. So my question is whether or not a block other than a 617.951 can be used, i.e. one from a 300D and year model changes, etc to go in a W126.
